When I started to sleep better (due to standing and morning light), my health improved: I stopped getting colds. There was plenty of pre-existing evidence linking better sleep and better immune function; a new study connects the two even more strongly.

yeah, plus eating more fermented foods.

A recent study found that the French slept more, about 9 hours a night, than anyone else in the industrialized world. Nutritionists have long been puzzled by why the French, who eat so many “bad fats,” have such good longevity and less heart disease than their diet might predict. Could it be the sleep?
