Importance of sleep [View all]

Have you ever noticed this: a brief amount of sleep can help fend off a cold or sore throat?

I've been pushing the envelope on sleep and even though I had something important to do late this afternoon, I pushed it off and took a nap instead.

I'd been getting a sore throat which I was hoping would not turn into a cold.

I wear a mask all the time in public so I know it's from not getting enough sleep.

After the nap: no throat tingling, no sore throat. Feel much better, so much better.

Sleep: amazing stuff.
