While Malaysia hopes to achieve herd immunity against Covid-19 by February 2022, there remains hesitancy to receiving the vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In the last few months, there has been a rise in those registering for the vaccine, with recent figures at the time of writing indicating that approximately one-third of the population have done so.
However, revised estimates have indicated that herd immunity will only be achieved when 70-85% of the population are fully vaccinated.
Sleep is as important as food.
Our bodies do not care if our mind thinks sleep is a “waste” of time in the midst of our busy lives; without sleep, we simply cannot survive.
According to a 2010 survey, 30% of Malaysians sleep less than seven hours a day and sleep-related problems affect a third of us.
The usual recommendation is seven to eight hours of sleep every night for adults.
This is based on the amount of sleep the average person requires.
That said, there are outliers, as some can get by with as little as four hours a night, while others, such as professional athletes, may need as much as 12 hours a night in order to recover enough to perform optimally the next day.
