Sleep is often viewed as "off time," but it is the mandatory 8-hour upgrade for your immune defense. This episode delivers the actionable science behind the sleep-immunity link. We explain the crucial nightly processes, including the release of Cytokines (your immune system’s signal molecules) and the critical boost to T-cell and Natural Killer (NK) cell activity—your body’s first responders. Learn why sleep deprivation leaves you vulnerable to chronic inflammation and how it can even blunt your response to vaccinations. We cover the ideal hormonal environment (low cortisol, high growth hormone) that sleep creates, and how to structure your nightly routine to build an ironclad immune system from the ground up. This is your blueprint for weaponizing your rest.
