When
it
comes
to
your
health,
sleep
plays
an
important
role.
While
more
sleep
won’t
necessarily
prevent
you
from
getting
sick,
skimping
on
it
could
adversely
affect
your
immune
system,
leaving
you
susceptible
to
a
bad
cold
or
case
of
the
flu.
To
keep
yourself
sniffle-free
this
season,
here’s
what
you
need
to
Sleep and Cytokines
Without
sufficient
sleep,
your
body
makes
fewer
cytokines,
a
type
of
protein
that
targets
infection
and
inflammation,
effectively
creating
an
immune
response.
Cytokines
are
both
produced
and
released
during
sleep,
causing
a
double
whammy
if
you
skimp
on
shut-eye.
Chronic
sleep
loss
even
makes
the
flu vaccine less effective by reducing your body’s ability to respond.
Stock Up on Naps
To
stay
healthy,
especially
during
the
influenza
season,
get
the
recommended
seven
to
eight
hours
of
sleep
a
night.
This
will
help
keep
your
immune
system
in
fighting
shape,
and
also
protect
you
from
other
health
issues
including
heart
disease,
diabetes,
and
obesity.
If
your
sleep
schedule
is
interrupted
by
a
busy
work
week
or
other
factors,
try
to
make
up
for
the
lost
rest
with
naps.
Taking
two
naps
that
are
no
longer
than
30
minutes
each
—one
in
the
morning
and
one
in
the
afternoon—has
been
shown
to
help
decrease
stress
and
offset
the
negative
effects
that
sleep
deprivation
has
on
the
immune
system.
If
you
can’t
swing
a
half-hour
nap
during
the
workday,
try
grabbing
a
20-minute siesta on your lunch hour, and another right before dinner.
Other Healthy Tactics
Of
course,
there’s
more
to
boosting
your
immunity
and
guarding
against
illness
than
getting
ample
sleep.
It’s
also
important
to
practice
smart
stay-
healthy
strategies
such
as
washing
your
hands
with
soap
regularly,
avoiding
close
contact
with
people
who
are
obviously
under
the
weather,
and
talking
with
your
doctor
about
getting
an
annual
flu
shot.
And
remember:
Even
if
you
do
come
down
with
a
case
of
seasonal
sniffles,
you’ll
be
able
to
bounce
back
faster if your body is well rested. t night.
