We know sleep is important, but did you know just how vital it is for our health, healing and immune system boosting? During sleep, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines, which help promote sleep … In addition, infection-fighting antibodies and cells are severley reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep or the body is under stress. Your body needs sleep to fight infectious diseases and build the immune system. Getting a minimum of 7 hours a night ensures you wake with a clear mind, healthy immune system & you’re ready to take on the day. Happy sleeping on International Sleep Day! Zzzzzz
