So I've been sick for the past few days and if I haven't learned anything else it is the importance of having a humidifier especially in your bedroom. So think about it like this, you sleep for seven to eight hours every night and if you're breathing in dry air for that long, of course when you wake up you're going to have you know an irritated throat, irritated nostrils, if you're sick like me your cough is going to be dry and painful so do yourself a favor and get a humidifier.
