The Korean Sleep Association “To increase the vaccine effect, you need to sleep well”
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jandi Kim = While vaccination for a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) is in full swing, the Korean Sleep Association recommended that sufficient sleep is important to increase the effectiveness.
The Sleep Society announced on the 17th the ‘5 Sleep Guidelines to Increase the Effectiveness of the Corona 19 Vaccine’ in celebration of’World Sleep Day’ (March 19).
According to the Sleep Society, even if the same vaccine is given, the effect varies depending on the right person, and one of the reasons is sleep. If you sleep less than 4 hours after getting the vaccine, less antibodies are produced and the vaccine may be less effective. As a result, getting a good night’s sleep on the night you get the vaccine will help boost your immune function.
◇ After getting the vaccine, I get a better sleep at night than usual.
On the days you get the vaccine, you should be able to sleep more than usual without scheduling a different schedule. This is because sleeping is not just a rest, but a process that optimizes the body’s homeostasis.
Poor sleep can reduce immune function. In particular, sleeping for less than 5 hours a day reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine and is fatal to immune function. If you take a nap after getting the vaccine, you need to be careful because it may prevent you from falling asleep at night.
◇ Wake up at the same time every morning from a week before getting the vaccine
If you are unable to sleep well and have changed your life day and night, and suddenly try to sleep well on the day of getting the vaccine, you may not sleep.
That’s why it’s a good idea to wake up at a certain time at least a week in advance.
After setting a target wake-up time, it is advisable to get bright light for at least 30 minutes as soon as you wake up in the morning.
◇ Get enough sleep on a regular basis
Above all, it’s good to get into the habit of getting enough sleep.
It’s good to refrain from delaying bedtime because you have a lot of work to do, or splitting your sleep time and enjoying your leisure life because it’s uncomfortable to fall asleep.
One hour of sleep swapped for work can cause fatigue as well as reduce work efficiency for longer periods of time.
◇ Maintain good sleep quality
After the Corona 19 epidemic, the lines between work, rest, and sleep have blurred as more and more companies are working from home. There are many people whose sleep rhythm is broken as regular commute etc. disappear.
In order to maintain a good quality of sleep, it is necessary to schedule a bedtime and make an effort to turn the bedroom into a space for sleep.
It’s a good idea to keep the computer for work out of the bedroom and keep your smartphone away from the bed.
It’s also a good idea to have a transitional period between waking activity and bedtime to allow time to warm up your sleep.
◇ Don’t go to bed in an upset state
When you’re feeling very upset, it’s a good idea to not go to bed, just relax and unwind. When sleep begins to rush, you go to bed.
“Proper sleep time, good sleep, and regular sleep habits are essential for maintaining good health,” said Ki-Young Jeong, chairman of the Sleep Association (Professor of Neurology, Seoul Medical University). “It is essential to increase antibody production after vaccination.” Said.
