SLEEP AND THE HUMAN IMMUNE RESPONSE
Our immune system is weaker when we don´t get enough sleep.
In a very interesting experiment led by Dr Aric Prather , he proves that sleep deprivation leads to a weak immune system that contributes to the common cold
."Behaviorally Assessed Sleep and Susceptibility to the Common Cold"
This is part of his conclusion:
"In summary, these novel findings provide the first evidence that sleep duration assessed behaviorally through actigraphy predicts incidence of infectious illness using an experimental viral challenge"
He is the co author of another very interesting paper correlating immunitiy and sleep
" Sleep and Antibody Response to Hepatitis B Vaccination"
This is his conclusion
"Short sleep duration in the natural environment may negatively affect in vivo antibody responses to novel antigens, providing a possible explanation for observed associations of poor sleep with increased susceptibility to infectious disease".
Now, the supreme proof that good sleep hygiene matters for Covid 19
