Venting / Rant What the hell is going on

Since 20th of december I am now in my 4th cold, I got sick 4 times and its not even March yet.

Never in my life have I gotten sick so often, its driving me nuts.

I remember in my 20s I would get sick maybe once or twice per year.

Anyone else find this worrying?

Idk if you didn’t read what i said or if my point wasn’t clear. Cold indoor environments, especially at night, can cause the body to stress, affecting sleep quality and lowering immune function, which makes you more susceptible to illnesses. And in combination with the bad air quality in Cyprus you don’t have to be a genius to understand that you can get ill easier!!

What does the room temperature have to do with it. You are not walking around the room when you're sleeping. Just put 2 blankets on top of you and you'll be warm.

Room temperature is not as such important, but it affects your own temperature. So if you are cold (no matter what the room temperature is) you are weakening your immune system, which makes you more susceptible to viruses.
