Tá an codladh tábhachtach do do shláinte. Tá fadhbanna codlata coitianta agus is iondúil go dtagann feabhas orthu laistigh de chúpla seachtain. Ná bíodh imní ort mura bhfuil do chodladh rómhaith ar feadh tamall gairid.

Téacs a deir 'Leideanna le haghaidh codladh níos fearr. Bíodh gnáthamh codlata agat. Lig do scíth roimh dhul a chodladh. Cuir intinn a bhíonn ag rith ar a suaimhneas. Éirigh mura féidir leat dul a chodladh. Cruthaigh áit shuaimhneach le codladh. Seachain substaintí a chuireann isteach ar chodladh. Seachain bheith i do shuí go mall le haghaidh 'am dom féin'. Coinnigh tú féin gníomhach agus coinnigh dialann chodlata.

Self-care, take care of minor ailments such as colds and sore throats at home with a first aid kit and a well-stocked medicine cabinet. Pharmacy, ask your local pharmacist for advice on common minor illnesses such as headaches, tummy aches and coughs.
