Did you know that skipping sleep after a vaccination can cut your immune protection in half? The effects of sleep deprivation on the immune system are profound—and yet, this vital relationship remains alarmingly overlooked. In this video, we delve into the bidirectional connection between sleep and immunity, exploring how disturbances in circadian rhythm and sleep disorders can silently undermine your health and wellness. Drawing from compelling scientific research—including a landmark review by Luciana Besedovsky—we examine how sleep deprivation not only weakens vaccine efficacy but also fosters a chronic state of low-grade inflammation. This inflammatory burden elevates the risk of major illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Discover how a consistent, high-quality sleep routine is not just a pillar of a healthy lifestyle, but also an essential ally in defending the body against infections and disease. If you're one of the millions struggling with sleep—or simply unaware of its pivotal role in health—this video is for you: https://youtu.be/GgEbKRFzRy0
