On Monday’s Backchat, we're talking about a link that's been discovered between a lack of sleep and "long Covid", and other ailments.
 
Researchers from Chinese University were involved in a global study which found that people who regularly sleep less than six hours a night are almost twice as likely to develop persistent Covid symptoms, even if they are double vaccinated.  
 
We'll be finding out more from the researchers themselves, and asking how we can boost our own immune systems.  
 
After 9:40, we’ll be hearing about the welcome return of international cricket to Hong Kong, with the recent T20 and ODI tournaments.
