Reply to comment by Fabulous-Relative333 in Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80

Too little sleep is causation. Too much sleep is correlation. My guess.

Or maybe people who get very little sleep are just also more likely to encounter infections — they might have small children in daycare, or do shift work in healthcare settings, etc etc
