The Warm Springs Holistic Health Center reminds you to make sure you are getting the sleep you need.   Sleep has been shown to improve the function of our immune system. Studies have demonstrated that individuals who get less than 7 hours of sleep per night are 3 times more likely to catch the common cold than those who sleep over 8 hours. In addition, those who sleep less than 5 hours per night have a 70% increased risk of developing pneumonia compared to those who sleep over 8 hours.  Holistic Health is located on campus next to the courthouse, offers physical therapy and acupuncture services.   You can call 541-777-2663 to learn more.
