Head Colds Suck

The primary reason head colds suck is the fatigue that comes from lack of sleep, combined with the longevity, the weeks that the lack of sleep can last. Just when the body needs sleep most to to give the immune system the best chance to fight the cold bacteria or virus, sleep is scarce because laying down creates a post nasal drip that creates a cough that wakes the body. Sleeping sitting up, for this body, is painful as the anus does not deal with the constant pressure well, which leads to other painful conditions. So here I sit, uncomfortable and awake, when all the body really needs is sleep. Head colds suck.
