Get Life-Changing Sleep
Many things set us apart as human beings, but there is one thing on earth that every person shares in common – the need for sleep.
Sleep is one of humanity’s greatest unifiers. Because of recent scientific research, we all know (or have heard) how important sleep is to almost every single aspect of our lives. Be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual – sleep can either hold you back or propel you forward in your day-to-day lives – and it seems to be getting harder and harder to get enough of it.
So what’s the problem?
It’s not just technology getting between us and a good night’s sleep, so don’t blame it all on your cell phone. It’s also our shared misbelief that overworking and burning ourselves out are the keys to success – and we pay for it with our sleep. Guess what gets cut when we find there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day? Sleep is the first target.
You’ve seen many fad diets come and go, but one thing you should keep in mind, is that these fads never last. If you want lasting results, it doesn’t have to be painful or negatively disrupt your daily routine – let’s take a look at “diet” myths and healthier, more sustainable alternatives.
Sleep plays a vital role in our daily decision-making, emotional intelligence, cognitive function and creativity. When we’re lacking sleep - anxiety, stress, depression and innumerable other health problems can creep in.
In the 1970s, there were only three centers in the United States devoted to sleep disorders. By the 1990s, that number grew to more than 300. Today, there are more than 2,500 accredited sleep centers. Are we in a sleep crisis? More than 40% of Americans get less than the recommended minimum 7 hours of sleep per night. So, the time has come for us to reclaim our sleep and build a better relationship with our quiet time. Sleep not only makes us better at our jobs, but can make us healthier in all aspects of life. It almost seems as though we are constantly pulled in separate directions – one part pulling us to achieve while awake, and the other holding us back to replenish ourselves.
I hope you’ll be inspired to reintroduce sleep into your life and join the sleep revolution, transforming your life one night at a time.
