Why Do We Get Sick in the Morning?

Your body is fighting something while you sleep. Think of it like this: when you're asleep, your body works hard to keep you healthy, kind of like a soldier on watch duty. Sometimes, that soldier gets tired or confused, and you wake up feeling like you're not quite well. That’s why you might feel sick in the morning.
