Could sleep deprivation caused a raised body temperature?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Sleep deprivation: Although lack of sleep can dampen immune responses, I am not aware that it causes a rise of body temperature. Did you ask the previous question if sleep deprivation causes flu-like symptoms? If yes, I would say if you have a fever & flu-like symptoms - it would suggest that you are ill.
