To stay healthy and fit and have the capacity to fight the different types of infections, you need to have a strong immune system. The body’s immunity is considered a condition according to which it becomes possible for the individual to put up a tough front against infections and other types of diseases. Building immunity is essential. Otherwise, a person will always fall sick. If you want to build immunity, good sleep is equally important and necessary apart from good food. 

The University of New York has conducted this research. They try to discover that it is only with the help of good sleep that the body’s immune system can be easily recovered. It is only with the help of good sleep that essential enzymes of the body in the form of monocytes get released. These enzymes try to build immunity by supporting the production of white blood cells and the development of antibodies in the body. This entire process is known as hematopoiesis. 

How Does It Work? 

After understanding the sleep modulations, it becomes essential to understand that the quantity of sleep a person takes in his life plays a very important role in determining his capacity to fight different diseases. The sleep modulations regulate the production of cells through inflammation inside the body.

Conducting a trial

A recent experiment was conducted concerning 14 adults; each was given a chance to sleep for 7 and a half hours. The behavior of these persons was observed for 6 weeks. This group was again given the task of sleeping for less than 7 hours each day after completing these 6 weeks. 

After this experiment was concluded within 12 weeks, the blood samples of the people were taken. Two kinds of blood samples were probably taken into accord. The first kind of blood sample was the one that was taken after the completion of the first 6 weeks and the second kind of blood sample was the one that was taken after the completion of yet another 6 weeks. 

Both of them were compared to each other. It was found that in the blood sample which was taken concerning the first 6 weeks, the incidence of stem cells of immunity inside the blood was higher as compared to the other part of the blood sample which was taken in the second period of 6 weeks in which a person did not get enough sleep. 

In fact, in the second blood sample, the stem cells were damaged and not as healthy as in the first situation. It is important to note that the sleep cycle has a very great impact on the immunity of the body that is built over some time. That is why it is advisable to take a proper amount of sleep every time so that the immunity of the body is not at all affected.

It is only with the help of this research that it is possible for the individual to recover from every kind of infection and problem.
