AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In a similar way, restricting sleep to 4 hours for one night led to the generation of inflammatory cytokinesa, which play an important role in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders (Figure 2.2, arrow 2). Sleep loss is also related to a higher risk for infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, lack of sleep can affect your immune system. Studies show that people who don’t get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus, such as a common cold virus. Lack of sleep can also affect how fast you recover if you do get sick.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression. Sleep deficiency is also linked to a higher chance of injury in adults, teens, and children.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sleep deprivation may result in deregulated immune responses with increased pro-inflammatory signaling, thus contributing to increase the risk for the onset and/or worsening of infection, as well as inflammation-related chronic diseases.
