Sleep is underrated

Sleep is underrated

As Trish and I have been reminded this weekend, acute sleep deprivation makes you feel awful. We took a redeye flight with uncomfortable seats and both felt like death warmed over most of the day.

Chronic sleep deprivation in small amounts is more sneaky. For most of us, 6 or 7 hours of sleep is insufficient and the accumulated sleep deficit takes its toll. You might even think you feel fine. After a few days of poor performance you grow used to it and think you’ve recovered.

If you think you might be one of the rare people that genetically need less sleep, there’s one way to be fairly sure your well-rested. You regularly wake without an alarm and feel good about getting up to start your day.

How long has it been since you’ve felt well-rested?

Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
