Four Crucial Ways that Sleep Helps the Body to Heal

by InstaSleep · Jan 16, 2018

InstaSleep Reviews Team article notes:

  • While you sleep, your body can make more white blood cells that can attack viruses and bacteria that can hinder the healing process. Your immune system relies on sleep to be able to fight harmful substances. When you don’t get enough sleep, your immune system is not able to properly protect the body from infection.
  • When you sleep, there are less demands made on your heart. Your blood pressure will drop and your heart will be able to take a break. Sleep also causes the body to release hormones that can slow breathing, and relax other muscles in the body. This process can reduce  inflammation and assist with healing.
