Sleep maximizes vaccine effectiveness
With the roll out of COVID-19 vaccines now underway, University of South Australia sleep experts are urging people to reprioritise their sleep, as getting regular and sufficient sleep is known to boost your immune system.
UniSA sleep and fatigue researcher, Dr Raymond Matthews, says sleep is an essential factor for maintaining good health and wellbeing, especially during the pandemic.
“At the moment, we’re all very focussed on staying healthy – sanitizing our hands and keeping socially distanced – but what many people forget is that sleep plays an essential role in our overall health,” Dr Matthews says.
