The amount of sleep you get per night is strongly correlated to your health. When you do not get a proper amount of sleep per night, your immune system becomes weaker. It’s recommended that an adult gets between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night, so your immune system is strong enough to fight off infection. It is important to maintain a good sleep schedule in the days leading up to your departure and then on your trip.
