YOUR SLEEP, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS!!! WHY SLEEP HAS TO BECOME A PRIORITY FOR YOU
Sleep they say is a Mystery. Just like breathing is supposed to be free, sleep is also supposed to be free. So why like Macbeth have people ‘murdered’ sleep and are sleeping no more?
It is so interesting that on the rung of what is considered as necessary for our Health and WellBeing, sleep is not necessarily a popular department. Most burn the midnight oil to be able to catch up with their lofty goals, study, pray, attend vigils, close the juicy deals, see the ‘big and important man’, see the Minister,hold the caucus meetings, et al….Sleep deprivation has become an epidemic! People wake up one day and go to sleep the next day; yes, they sleep after midnight and are up again by 4a.m.
There is this constant debate on how many hours of sleep we need and most cannot bear the thought of sleeping away a third of their lives as eight working hours is probably not enough as it were to ‘Blow!’
But interestingly, March 10-16 2019 was declared Sleep Awareness Week by the National Sleep Foundation. The theme was “Begin with Sleep” which was meant to highlight the importance of good sleep health for individuals to best achieve their personal, family and professional goals.
Arianna Huffington popularly referred to a ‘Sleep Evangelist’ says she became successful after she quit one common bad habit of Sleep Deprivation! She collapsed at her desk in 2007 out of exhaustion and has since been championing the Sleep Crusade. She has a book on the subject -Sleep Revolution. She says after realizing the importance of sleep, she started to see a difference in her work style, and that was she says, her business began to grow.
Sleep is the Bio-Rhythm upon which every other area of our life revolves. When Sleep is poor, every other area of your life is affected. Sleep affects health, well-being and safety. Sleep is a journey you have to undertake yourself not your doctor. The shut -eye nightly 7-9 hours process is yours to enjoy! Lack of adequate sleep drains your mental abilities and poses a risk to your physical health. Some of which include weakened immunity, high blood pressure, weight gain, emotional issues, mood swings, car accidents, low sex drive, inflammation….
It has been said that your day actually begins with the quality of sleep you had.
Do you wake up fresh and feel energetic, ready to conquer the world.
And interestingly still, there is a rare syndrome that has plagued a young lady – Rhoda Rodriguez -Diaz 21 ‘Sleeping Beauty’ Syndrome that causes her to sleep for 20-22 hours per day!!! Hyper-insomnia affects one -in-a-million.
Truth is we need to prioritize Sleep and make it an unbreakable habit.
