Does low sanity debuff pal health regen?

[Wolfguarde]

I've noticed in my last few legendary fights that pal regeneration seems to fall off, hard, in the later half of the fight. It didn't really click until my most recent one against a 14k HP frostallion, and it occurred to me to check their sanity; my main damage dealer, which was out for the majority of the fight, was sitting at 1 sanity, and was barely regenerating, while one of my damage soaks, which I need less frequently now that I know the fight, would regenerate its health within a couple of minutes off-field. Is this a thing, or am I just experiencing cognitive bias because I want my damage dealers on-field more often?

You could try an experiment and start feeding your main dudes pancakes and see if they keep their sanity up better during combat and if their regen is improved.

Or could feed Defense boosting food and hope that taking less intense damage leads to less SAN loss.
Though I think the minimum loss of Sanity is 1 per hit, so multi hit skills like breath attacks could be a real SAN killer.
