Enough Rest
When you have flu or other types of infection, the body works hard to fight the illness, which depletes your energy. Therefore, you need enough rest to recuperate and boost your immune system to feel better. Moreover, during sleep, the system repairs itself, aiding in a speedy recovery.
So, avoid staying up late at night or performing strenuous activities when you’re sick and get enough rest. It may not be easy to sleep properly since you don’t feel well, but there are things that you can do to make yourself feel more comfortable.
Since you probably suffer from a stuffy nose, elevate your head to make breathing easier. Don’t drink alcohol because although it could make you feel sleepy, it could also affect the overall quality of your sleep. You could get up in the middle of the night to empty your bladder, which can also hamper the body’s regeneration process. Keep the room clean, quiet, and dark to promote better sleep. Ensure that the temperature is also comfortable so that it wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for you.
