Study: Lack Of Sleep Linked To The Common Cold
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Researchers say they have discovered a link between sleep and the common cold.
A new study finds your likelihood to catch a cold goes up if you get less than six hours of sleep at night.
In fact, researchers say people are four to five times more susceptible to falling prey to the virus.
On top of that, mental alertness, driving ability and higher risk of heart attack, can come from lack of sleep.
