Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

to get enough sleep. There are any number of books out there on the topic.

I read one perhaps a year ago which described some very interesting research about mild sleep deprivation. It turns out, that if you get a flu shot after a night of insufficient sleep, it probably won't be nearly as effective as if you'd gotten 8 hours. Many other similar studies that prove over and over again getting sufficient sleep matteers.

Most of my life I have gotten adequate sleep, and I'm convinced that's perhaps the most important reason I'm as healthy as I am. Yeah, good genetics is probably in there, but getting plenty of sleep strikes me as key.
