This research investigates how sleep restriction impacts maternal and offspring immunity, highlighting significant differences.

Postpartum sleep restriction negatively affected immune parameters in offspring compared to controls, mainly in males.
Male pups exhibited lower IgG levels under acute sleep restriction, with significant differences noted in serum concentrations.
Chronic sleep restriction in mothers led to increased lymphocyte counts in both male and female pups relative to controls.
Maternal immune parameters remained unaffected, suggesting indirect implications for offspring immunity, particularly in males.

Peña et al. (2025) studied this question.
