Lect.Rasha Jabbar Jassim, who discussed the vital role of sleep in supporting the immune system. She explained that during sleep, the body produces important proteins called cytokines, which play a fundamental role in fighting infection and inflammation. She added that lack of sleep leads to a decrease in the production of these proteins, which aggravates the weakness of the ability to resist diseases. She stressed in her speech that good sleep has a direct effect in strengthening the immune system, noting that improving the quality of sleep can significantly reduce the risk of disease and infection.

    Such a seminar aims to raise awareness among students and the university community about the importance of sleep for the health of the immune system and its direct impact on the physical ability to resist diseases.
