For me this article simply confirms my conclusions on the subject from my own anecdotal experiences. Stay up all night, 50% chance I'll get sick. Go through sustained high stress periods, I _will_ eventually get sick. Funny enough I didn't get much sleep last night (or most of this week), had huge levels of stress before bed and low and behold, I awoke with a nasty Cold. For the record, I consider myself to be fairly healthy. I don't normally get sick but when I do it's almost always because of lack of sleep / stress. I'm quite good when it comes to diet and exercise and although it has helped me have good quality sleeps and lowered my levels of stress, it requires real discipline to keep it up. For anyone who suffers from stress or sleepless nights I definitely recommend a good cardio workout 2-3 times a week and serious dietery changes (no sugars, low carbs, no junk in general, no processed foods, lots of greens and a well researched cocktail of supplements). I love good coffee but I find that it is usually a lot worse for my stress levels than something comparable like an energy drink; although, both are really bad. I find it fascinating how something as simple as a food colouring can completely ruin your sleep for the night, and the worst thing is you'd never know what ruined it for you.
