ZOE Science & Nutrition · How 'boosting' your immune system increases inflammation and 4 ways to support balance instead | Dr Giulia Enders · 7 May 2026 podcast

I think we all know the things in modern life like phones and TVs and electric lights that I think mean we tend to sleep less than our ancestors would.

Does that mean that if they were able to sleep better, that that would probably help

improve sort of the balance of their immune system?

I mean, it depends on how severe your sleep disruption is.

The immune system needs especially the first half of the night because that is when there's most deep sleep.

And deep sleep is the part of the sleep where the cells have this perfect window to multiply.

And then the second half of sleep is more REM sleep, processing feelings, finding new emotions.

These kind of things happen more there.

So if you're good in the first half, then that's good for a lot of physical processes like bodily things happening.

Most people have rather a hard time with the second half of the night or they wake up and then they have a hard time falling back asleep.

And I think, well, we weren't even done with listing all the things sleep is good for, you know, pain tolerance, hormone balance, digestive health because of replenishing of the cells there as well.

So it could go on and on and mental health, risk of dementia, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But the funny thing here is people have all these advices now.

They have social media and health information with what you should do, do this, do this, do this, do that in order to sleep better.

And, you know, then they also get scared.

If I don't sleep well, I will get this, this, this, this, this.

And the ironic thing is that sleep is just really important.

out of their territory.

It's not the territory of the conscious mind who lists all the to-do things.

I mean, it can do that before you go to bed.
