to get sick do you get sick while asleep or awake when dose it all start but most people get sick when around others then asleep or awake thoughts on this.

Typically when im sick i wake that way. I say aasleep

You probably caught whatever is making you sick from someone else when you are awake, and when you sleep it just has time to get worse. You feel ok when you go to sleep but are actually sick and don't know it yet. It's just the contrast of feeling worse when you wake up that makes you think you got sick overnight.

Well yea, but i consider it to when i notice symptoms. I thought it was more of the slowed metabolism that wakes up the sickness

Your body is immunosuppressed while you sleep becuase of a decreased heart rate. White blood cells that fight bugs and infections that you catch travel through the bloodstream, decreased heart rate means decreased blood flow, and a slower time for the antibodies to get into the fight.

Also, we are usually rather warm and in darkness while we sleep. Perfect breeding grounds.
