The researchers estimated the effects of insufficient sleep would be would be equivalent to two months of waning COVID-19 antibodies after vaccination
Sleeping less than six hours in the days around a vaccination could reduce the body's immune response, leaving you more vulnerable to infection, a new study has found.
The researchers estimated the effects of insufficient sleep would be would be equivalent to two months of waningSenior study author Eve Van Cauter, a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, said getting adequate sleep"may not only strengthen, but also extend, the vaccine response". "Having an easily modifiable behaviour that you can adjust around the time of your appointment gives you something you can control that is likely to improve your body's response.
"This is something people should consider planning around, to ensure that they are getting enough sleep in the week before and after their vaccines.""The link between sleep and vaccine effectiveness could be a major concern for people with irregular work schedules, especially for shift workers who typically have reduced sleep duration," she said.

Researchers identify novel genes that may increase risk for schizophreniaResearchers have identified two previously unknown genes linked to schizophrenia and newly implicated a third gene as carrying risk for both schizophrenia and autism. Led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the multi-center study further demonstrated that the schizophrenia risk conferred by these rare damaging variants is conserved across ethnicities. The study may also point to new therapeutics.
