A new study sheds light on how sleep directly affects the immune system, offering valuable insights into the importance of good sleep hygiene.
Researchers from the University of California found that adequate sleep (7-9 hours per night) helps to regulate immune responses, allowing the body to better fight infections. In contrast, sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illnesses.
Experts recommend sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and limiting screen time before sleep to boost both sleep quality and immune function.
