Recommended that you keep yourself warm when suffering from a virus, helps certain elements of your immune system to function more efficiently. A nice warm bath is a gratifying way to keep warm.

The benefits of getting ample quality sleep for overall health and well-being are well-known, however many still struggle to fall asleep each night. One of the indications to the body that it is time for sleep is a drop in our internal body temperature, which then signals the body to start producing melatonin, a hormone that prepares us for sleep. Taking a soothing warm bath before bed can induce a better night's sleep by kick-starting the body to start a downshift in temperature by first heating it up. Our bodies get colder at night naturally, but giving the cool-down process a nudge by heating yourself up artificially first is a proven trick to wind down and start feeling tired.
I highly recommend to recharge, restore, and luxuriate in a warm bath this weekend, or any night of the week, you will feel like a new person.
