Sleep plenty
Prioritize sleep during cold and flu season. Mayo Clinic says that sleep deprived individuals are more likely to become sick if exposed to a virus, such as the cold, flu, or coronavirus. If you think that cutting down on sleep helps you get ahead in the short run, keep in mind that in the long run, it will cost you a lot of time if you fall ill. Making time for an extra hour or two of sleep a night now could be the reason you don’t have to take a week of sick days later. With the sun starting to set earlier and the temperatures dropping, you can suffer less FOMO if you call it a night earlier.
