Immunity & Sleep
We now know that your immune system is intimately involved with the sleep process, handling a great deal of the communication and housecleaning activities that are totally different than the idea of fighting a bug. Your lymph system is a key part of your immune system and its function during sleep is explained above in the section Unclog Lymph System for Better Sleep/health-topics/sleep/unclog-lymph-system-for-better-sleep.
Additionally, if your immune system is called on to battle a bug, the major battle will take place at night while you are sleeping. If you are successful you will feel better when you wake up. If your system is struggling then plumbing problems are likely to be aggravated.
