Your Bedtime Routine Could be Making You Sick

Study shows night owls get sick more often than those who stick to a regular bed schedule and get consistent sleep.

Here’s something that may get you to bed earlier.  A study on the effects of people who stayed up later over a month-long period were more likely to get sick.  Groups of twins were studied and found that the twin who slept less was more likely to get viruses and feel generally lousy.   The researchers concluded sleep deficiency weakens the immune system.   So those who claim they get sick more easily when they’re tired aren’t making it up. if you still want to be a night owl, be a consistent one.   It has to do with messing up your circadian rhythm, aka the hormonal cycle in which consistency is key.
