1 min read The Role of Sleep and Rest in Childhood Immunity
Sleep is one of the most powerful natural immunity boosters. This blog explains why rest is essential for young children’s immune health.
During deep sleep, the body produces cytokines—proteins that fight infection and inflammation. Poor sleep reduces this production, making children prone to illness.
A fixed bedtime routine, limited screen exposure before sleep, and a calm environment support quality rest. Children who sleep well recover faster and fall sick less often.
Rest is not optional—it is a biological necessity for immunity.
