Today we’re going to talk about sleep and how sleep deprivation can affect your immune system. Your immune system is highly influenced by your sleep cycles. If you’re not sleeping, your immune system is not going to work as it should. 
When you sleep, you stimulate growth hormone. Growth hormone is intimately involved with proteins, and your entire immune system is made out of proteins. 
Sleep deprivation will cause you to have higher levels of cortisol and adrenaline. Both of these, if spiked chronically, will suppress the immune system.
The rhythm of sleep is called circadian waves. The strength of your macrophages is highly dependent on your sleep cycles. These basically eat up harmful microbes and protect you against invaders. 
If your body can’t remember certain pathogens or fight infection, then you’re going to be more susceptible to getting sick.
