Get to bed early if you wanna avoid a cold!

I was reading 24hrs and came across an important story...

A new study at Carnagie Mellon University in Pittsburgh shows that people who sleep less than 7-hours a night are three times more likely to catch a cold than those who get 7+ hours of sleep.

Volunteers who spent less time in bed, or who spent their time in bed tossing and turning instead of snoozing, were much more likely to catch a cold when viruses were dripped into their noses.

People who slept longer and more soundly resisted infection better...

This shows that even relatively minor sleep disturbances can influence our body's reaction to cold viruses, says the author of the study.

If you are reading this after 10pm, off to bed with you!

You will be thankful you did, as the yearly cold makes its way around your friends and colleagues!
