Fighting an infection takes a significant toll on your body’s resources and requires your metabolism to run at a higher rate to support all the immune resources it’s mobilizing. As a result, sleep is a lot less physically restful since your body doesn’t go into the normal low-energy state like it would if you were healthy.
