Quality sleep can improve your immune system's response to threats like illness. Here's how.

Your immune system is activated when it recognizes antigens or toxins and other foreign substances to your body. This triggers a response in which the immune system develops antibodies, or cells specifically developed to fight the invader. Once these are produced, the immune system will keep a file and use it again if it ever runs into the same issue; this is why you typically only fight the chickenpox once in your life.Sleep is necessary for your immune system to run as efficiently as possible.
