Good sleep doesn’t just help you feel rested — it actually strengthens your immune system. At Well Sleep, we believe in treating sleep as a powerful tool for overall wellness, especially when it comes to staying healthy and fighting off illness.

Here’s how quality sleep supports your immune health:

1. Boosts Immune Cell Activity

During deep sleep, your body produces and releases cytokines — proteins that help fight infections and inflammation.

Fix: Prioritize 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your immune system to fully recharge.

2. Improves Vaccine Response

Research shows that people who sleep well after getting vaccinated produce more antibodies, making vaccines more effective.

Fix: Ensure restful sleep before and after vaccinations for better protection.

3. Reduces Stress Hormones

Poor sleep raises cortisol (the stress hormone), which can suppress immune function over time.

Fix: Create a calming bedtime routine and invest in supportive bedding, like Well Sleep's orthopedic pillows, to reduce nighttime disruptions.

4. Helps Recover Faster from Illness

Sleep is when your body heals. Fever response, tissue repair, and infection recovery all happen more efficiently during deep sleep.

Fix: Allow yourself more rest when sick and create a quiet, cool sleep environment for better recovery.

Final Thought

Sleep is your body’s natural defense system. If you're often falling sick, feeling run down, or recovering slowly, it's time to look at your sleep habits.
