Before you rise and shine tomorrow, you may want to hit that snooze button -- getting enough sleep could be the healthiest thing you do this flu season.

"It really as important as washing your hands," said Dr. Jeremy Weingarten, of New York Methodist Hospital. "It's a major component of total body wellness."

"People who got less than seven hours of sleep caught the common cold more frequently than those who got more than eight hours," said Dr. Weingarten.
