Supports a healthy immune system
The immune system is critical to overall health. It is essential for the treatment of wounds, the prevention of infections, and the defense against chronic and deadly diseases.
The immune system and sleep are mutually dependent. Sleep can be impacted by immune reactions, like that caused by a viral infection. Meanwhile, regular sleep strengthens the immune system, allowing the healthy working immunological activity. On the other side, a lack of sleep might impair the immune system. Evidence suggests that sleep deprivation can cause disease in the short- and long-term. Additionally, some evidence indicates that getting enough sleep may enhance your body's antibody responses to influenza vaccines. According to recent preliminary data, obtaining enough sleep both before and after having a COVID-19 vaccination may increase the vaccine's effectiveness.
