Sleep is vital to maintaining physical health, and a lack of adequate sleep can lead to increased risk for a variety of medical conditions, including vulnerability to infections. Indeed, early work in rats showed that prolonged experimental sleep loss produced profound breakdowns in host resistance and subsequent death due to septicemia [1]. In humans, insufficient sleep, eg, sleeping fewer than 6 h per night, has been associated with increased susceptibility to infectious illness in cross-sectional, prospective, and experimental studies [2],[3],[4]. To date, much of the research related to sleep and infectious illness has focused on viral infections and the role of adaptive immune function, with less attention paid to innate immunity. The study by Hahn and colleagues [5] extends this latter research area by investigating the sleep dependent influences on number and function of circulating monocytes, which are phagocytes critical to protection against bacterial infections.In this study, mice were subjected to 6 h of sleep loss, via gentle handling, and compared to mice who were allowed to sleep undisturbed. Compared to mice exposed to sleep loss, the undisturbed mice displayed elevations in classical monocytes (Ly6C hi CD11b+ CD115+) in peripheral blood and in the spleen, while there were no consistent differences observed with respect to polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells. Subsequent analyses and experiments confirmed that the sleep related increases in monocytes were not due to excess cell death or greater differentiation from monocytes to macrophages among sleep deprived mice, or an upregulation in myelopoiesis or migration of monocytes from the bone marrow in sleeping mice. Rather, these increases were partially dependent of CCR2 chemokine signaling. Perhaps most intriguing, however, was the finding that group differences in circulating monocytes were abrogated in BMAL1 deficient mice, highlighting the role of the circadian system in regulating the redistribution of monocytes during sleep.
