Adequate sleep is essential for a well-functioning immune system. During sleep, the body produces cytokines, proteins that help fight infection and inflammation. Lack of sleep can reduce the production of these protective cytokines, making the body more susceptible to illnesses. Additionally, sleep helps to improve the effectiveness of vaccines by enhancing the body’s immune response. Ensuring 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night can significantly boost immune health and overall well-being.
