Do you want to rejuvenate your mind? Keep your weight off? Be more productive and happier? Be more energetic ? Then do this every night.
Are you tired of living like a zombie? Tired of spending most of your paycheck at pricey coffee shops? Or tired of yo-yo weight loss and regain? Then you’re just like the other 70 million Americans who suffer from lack of sleep.
All too often we sacrifice sleep in our daily quest for success, to meet waking deadlines or juggle a schedule jam-packed between work and family. But we pay for that sacrifice.
Adequate sleep translates to poorer health, obesity, lower productivity on the job (and as a parent), more danger on the roads, a less vibrant sex life, an impaired immune system and a lower quality of life. Researchers have also discovered that after two weeks, people sleeping four to six hours a night are as cognitively impaired as those who have been awake for two or three days.
While no one really knows why we sleep, we do know that sleep shapes every facet of our lives. If it didn’t, we wouldn’t spend one third of our life doing it.
