Physiology & Medicine / Why is sleep deprivation fatal?

Sleep cycle and the immune system is closely related. Acute sleep deprived mice (not with chronic insomnia but healthy mice who weren't been let to sleep) died from disease eventually.
I don't know if this is due to the excessive buildup of stresshormones that inhibit the immune system fatally, or the immune system needs some sleep recharging.
