Seven Hours of Sleep When the Season Changes
Protecting a regular seven-hour sleep window during the season change, because tired bodies catch colds more easily. A routine, not a prevention guarantee.
Sleep before supplements
Studies link short sleep to a higher chance of catching colds. Around Diwali, with late nights and travel, sleep is the first thing to go. Protecting seven hours is one of the most useful things you can do in the season change.
Pick a bedtime and wake time, dim lights an hour before bed and keep the phone away. This is a routine and cannot guarantee you will not fall ill.
