The Role of Sleep in Immune Function and Vaccines
Research shows that sleep plays a crucial role in immune function and our ability to respond effectively to vaccines. Short sleep duration (less than 7 hours per night) has been linked to an increased risk of getting sick and experiencing poorer vaccine responses. Studies have demonstrated that individuals who sleep less are more likely to develop colds and have reduced immune cell function. Furthermore, shorter and disrupted sleep has been associated with elevated inflammation markers, which can contribute to chronic health conditions. These findings highlight the importance of getting sufficient sleep for maintaining a robust immune system and optimizing vaccine efficacy.
