Day 12: Sleep is not for the week....or for the dead

So there is something that I haven't been getting lately.

Sleep.

Are you burning the candle at both ends too? Working your day job ... and then working your night job/doing projects around the house/running kids around the city/or just busy?

Then you know - the truth is you need at LEAST 8 hours of sleep but most of us get 4-6.
And then we wonder why we live on coffee while we 'make' it through the next day.
Yeah, I know - I've been there.
Whatever the reason for your lack - I want to encourage you to get more sleep in your life.
This means that you have to plan better....
Make better choices with your time....
Just say no to extras.....
and NOT drink coffee at night.
(the last one was for me too- if I drink coffee I'll be up thinking for another 4 hours)!

Here's some thoughts about sleep:

Additionally:

• 27% of women say sleep is the most important component to their overall well-being
• 16% of women would try getting a good night’s sleep to improve their overall wellness

• 31% of suburban moms are likely to make sleep a priority
• 50% of women with children agree that sleep is the best way to recharge, nine points higher than women without children

• 45% of women agree they feel most refreshed after a good night’s sleep
• 26% of women are likely to invest in a mattress as an in-home wellness item

And yet - we still don't do it. Do you have a bed time? Do you know when your clock is running out? As the famous phrase says: "Sleep is for the weak" or "You'll sleep when you're dead" - this is not the option for proactive people.

And it's not your option.
Make a commitment to get enough sleep & improve your life.
