Sleeping more than 9 houra can affect our Immune System

Studies on the relationship between sleep and our immune systems have been going on for several years. Although researchers have much more to learn, they have come to some definitive conclusions thus far. They know that there is a complex relationship between our sleep-wake cycles and our immune systems. Parts of our immune system help to control our sleep and the sleep we get directly impacts how well our immune system functions.
Research into the effects of sleep deprivation on the immune system done at the University of Pennsylvania found that even short-term loss of sleep has a significant impact on how the immune system functions. The team uncovered some surprising results as not all of these impacts are bad. These findings have opened the door for future research into the interaction between how much our sleep contributes to our health.
The UCLA Cousins Center Research team found that even a small amount of sleep loss can trigger an immune system response in the body that increases inflammation that can cause tissue damage. These findings help us to further understand the link between sleep problems and increased risks for diseases like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, obesity and specific cancers.
