Deep Sleep vs Light Sleep, Why Poor Sleep Lowers Your Immune System
Why Poor Sleep Lowers Your
Immune System
Have you ever wondered 'exactly' why we tend to sleep longer
when we're sick? As you might already know, we sleep in
"sleep cycles". We can categorize these cycles into "light
sleep", and "deep sleep." But just HOW important deep sleep
is to our immune system?...
As you read, it's during the first 3-4 hours of our sleep
that we experience the longest period of Stage 3 and Stage 4
sleep.
Stage 3 and Stage 4 Sleep is also commonly termed "deep
sleep."

|
It's during deep sleep that we experience very low brain
waves called Theta and Delta brain waves. |
|
|
Our blood vessels dilate and all the blood that is
usually stored in our organs throughout the day moves
into our muscles to nourish and repair them |
|
|
Our immune system also activates during deep sleep to
fight disease. This is why people tend to sleep
longer when they're sick. |
When you don't take proper care of your inner sleeping
system, you're usually at risk of "poor sleep." Poor sleep
happens for a variety of reasons which I outline in the
Powerful Sleep book, but the main "symptom" is the inability
or the difficulty of obtaining proper amounts of "deep
sleep."
It's very common for people who travel across many time
zones to get sick very quickly, we usually blame this on
"Jet-Lag." However, jet lag happens because of the body's
natural body temperature rhythm being out of alignment.
Jet-Lag commonly creates a disruption of deep sleep, added
with the stress of travel, this is a perfect mixture for
lowering one's immune system.
Most people live without being aware of all the actions
they're taking in their lives that are completely
detrimental to their sleeping system, which are depriving
them of energy, and making them SLEEP LONGER than they
really need to. Fortunately, there are simple methods to
take proper care of your inner sleep system, and strengthen
it for maximum performance.
