Ever since we were young our parents would tell us to get a lot of sleep whenever we feel sick, even before giving us medicine.
Sleep is essential for boosting your immune system and helping you recover as quickly as possible especially when you’ve come down with a cold or a flu.
Getting a proper night’s rest, which is about seven to nine hours for most adults, helps your body go deeper into repair mode. This process is even more important when you’re sick and low on energy, because sleep is one of the main regulators of our immune system.
Unfortunately, Cold and flu symptoms — from coughing and sneezing to a runny nose and sore throat — are uncomfortable and not conducive to falling asleep. Here are some tips to help you get those precious zzzzs’s
- Go to bed as early as possible. The earlier you go to bed, the more sleep you will be able to get at night. Log out from your Netflix account and turn off your TV and set an early bedtime for yourself. If you find it hard to sleep turn off the lights once you are settled into bed.
- Unplug at least an hour before hitting the hay. Believe me double-tapping, scrolling and swiping right on posts will not help you sleep. Tiktok and Reels are the last thing you want to see at bedtime. Not only is your mind working, but smartphone and tablet displays also emit disruptive blue light that can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps your body know when it’s time to sleep. Put your devices down at least an hour or more before bed and leave them outside your bedroom so you wont get tempted to take a peek. Get a book instead as reading a few pages can help you fall asleep faster.
- Avoid eating heavy meals before bed. I used to have late night dinners not knowing that its one of the reasons why I couldn’t sleep. If you just had a heavy dinner, your stomach may still be working to digest it. So stick to a light supper and eat earlier.
- Make your bedroom a place for sleeping. Think of Batman and the batcave — dark and cool (minus all trophies and batcomputer. When you are ready to turn in for the night, switch the lights completely off. If you have aircondtioner turn the temp down low as a cooler room makes it easier to sleep.
- Get a humidifier. Dry air is a known eye, nose and throat irritant that can make cold and flu symptoms worse. With a humidifier, you can monitor the air quality in your bedroom and add moisture back into the air if it is lacking.
- Forget your worries and stress. At least during bedtime. Nothing keeps you up worse than having to think of your problems, deadlines and stressors. If you find yourself running through your to-do lists instead of falling asleep, try keeping a journal next to your bed so you can jot down whatever is on your mind before lying down.
- Stock up on Unilab medicines like these Tuseran Bundles. If you can’t sleep because of cough colds or sore throat take Tuseran Night! Works in as fast as 15 minutes. Relief lasts up to 6 hours.
