Sleep Loss And Immune Health Are Closely Linked

Lack of sleep is one of the gradually rising health complications of the current world. Everyone is aware that a good night's sleep plays a key role in maintaining your health in a better state along with keeping your mind fresh and active. There are many major health advantages of sleep that has been scientifically proven by many research studies from time to time. And, one such clinical intervention pertaining to sleep deprivation has been proven by a recent clinical investigative research study that established a bond between lack of sleep and immune alterations.

The study showed that sleep deprivation executes the same effects on the normal defense mechanism of humans as does the physical stress. Severe sleep deprivation is found to cause a brutal jerk to the overall immune system functioning. And, the most significant impact of the sleep loss on the immune system was on the granulocytes, a type of WBCs that were found to go astray with their day-to-night rhythm due to the drastic rise up of these immune cells in blood, especially during the dark time of the day.

Sleep loss packs potent clout on granulocytes:

The research study has taken into account around 15 young healthy males and subjected them to normal sleep as well as severe sleep deprivation to compare the blood levels of WBCs. The adult male individuals were made to undergo a strict daily routine of 8 hours of sleep for almost a week and then their WBCs were categorized and evaluated. During this period of study, the males were not allowed to consume any foods or drinks containing caffeine in them nor were they allowed to drink alcohol or take the aid of any drugs.

The main objective behind carrying out this routine was to make their body establish circadian rhythms, thereby bringing down their sleep deprivation before the actual experimental study. While, in the second half of the study the participants were made to undergo sleep deprivation for a span of 29 hours. After completing the clinical study, the researchers compared the WBCs during the normal sleep with that of the sleep deprived state; only to find that granulocytes were the most affected.

While, many previous clinical studies have established a link between sleep deprivation and its association with various detrimental health conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes as well as heart health. The researchers are positive of conducting future studies related to the molecular mechanism of stress response and its association with disease occurrence.
