In order to increase the effectiveness of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19, Corona 19) vaccine, advice has emerged that sufficient sleep is necessary after vaccination.
On the 17th, the Korean Sleep Association announced five sleep guidelines to increase the effectiveness of the Corona 19 vaccine on the 19th of World Sleep Day.
According to the guidelines, you should sleep more than usual after getting the vaccine. According to the Sleep Society, even if the same vaccine is given, the effect varies depending on the right person. One of the reasons is the analysis of sleep. Sleeping isn’t just a rest, it’s a process that optimizes your body’s homeostasis. Homeostasis is a phenomenon that tries to keep the internal environment constant in response to changes in the external environment and living organisms.
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.
The Sleep Society recommended waking up at the same time every morning from about a week to get 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. It is advised that 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.
The Sleep Society emphasized that it is important to get enough sleep and maintain the quality of sleep above all else. The Sleep Society said, “It is better to delay bedtime because there is a lot of work to do, or to refrain from enjoying leisure by splitting the sleep time because it is difficult to fall asleep. Not only does it lower your body, it can also cause fatigue.”
“In order to maintain a good quality of sleep, it is necessary to keep a constant bedtime and try to change the bedroom into a space for sleep.” It is also good,” he added.
The Sleep Society also recommended not to go to sleep while feeling upset. The Sleep Society said, “When you feel very upset, it’s good to not go to bed, take a rest and relax.”
“Proper sleep time, good sleep, and regular sleep habits are essential for maintaining good health,” said Ki-Young Jeong, Chairman of the Sleep Society (Professor of Neurology at Seoul National University Medical School). “It is essential to increase antibody production after vaccination.” Emphasized.
