Sleep is a Main Ingredient of Success

That’s why you should focus on getting more

Does anyone really even pull it off?

I almost resent the people with perfect sleep schedules. I’m so familiar with the other side of the spectrum that it just bothers me when someone can effortlessly get great sleep and stay on schedule.

Tossing and turning while staring at the ceiling is such a familiar scenario to those of us on the wrong side of the sleep schedule spectrum. Especially today, when the phone is always an arm’s reach away, it’s just too easy to crawl into bed by 11 PM, happy to have finally hit the hay at a decent time, and then do one of those classic “just one more quick glance at the phone” moves. We’ll then look at the clock (5 minutes later it seems like) only to realize it’s 1 AM.

And our smartphones are just the beginning of the complex modern struggle.

Oftentimes our daily schedules can interfere with going to sleep at a decent time. The obligations and responsibilities of our careers can literally mandate our schedules. The stinging reality is that sometimes sleep isn’t the number one priority in our lives. With so much to worry about and so little time, getting to sleep on time can easily fall to the wayside of our concerns, even though science has repeatedly proven sleep is critical to living a good life!

I hope you can find the motivation in this new decade to at least prioritize the amount of sleep you’re getting more than you have been.

In fact, did you know that one of the most prominent risk factors for obesity is lack of sleep? (According to a study at Harvard University).

In a world where obesity rates have been steadily climbing over the past few decades, it turns out our bedrooms have turned into the battleground for our health.
