Sleep and inflammation are linked because sleep plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, with sleep deprivation increasing inflammation [1] and healthy sleep allowing the immune system to combat persistent inflammation [2]. Furthermore, the release of cytokines during sleep helps manage inflammation {fact:3, fact:4}, a relationship further supported by clinical research into gastrointestinal health [3].
