Getting the best quality sleep is more important than the duration of a kip when it comes to warding off illnesses, according to new research.
A study published in medical journal Sleep found that people may maintain better health from less sleep time that's better quality over getting the recommended seven to nine hours rest.
Findings showed that those who did not get enough or high quality sleep were three times as likely to develop respiratory diseases like colds, flus and even Covid-19.
