For one, the body releases hormones during sleep that help children grow, he said. Sleep also helps with immunity; people who are sleep-deprived after receiving the flu vaccine get only about half of its protection compared to people who got a full night's sleep, he added. http://www.livescience.com/51039-scientists-explain-what-is-sleep.html Knew this (had been told this in a sleep clinic) but the first time I have seen it in writing.
