Getting at least 8 hours of sleep is essential for staying fit and healthy. In addition to that, not getting enough sleep may result to higher risks of acquiring diseases.
A new research shows that people who don't get enough sleep have a higher tendency of catching common cold after being exposed to a cold causing virus.
Aside from the quantity of sleep, it is also important to get quality sleep.
According to a post at Medicine.net, the research showed that those who slept an average of less than seven hours per night were nearly three times more likely to develop a common cold than those who reported eight or more hours per night in the weeks leading up to the experiment.
Research also proves that those who spent 92% of their time in bed asleep were five and a half times more likely to develop a common cold than those who spent 98% or more of their time in bed sleeping.
