8.Growing up in a hard-working midwestern city,I quickly learned that sleep hour is the first thing I can sacrifice.When I was young,the men I adored and respected regularly ran on just five hours of sleep,which led me to view needing sleep as a sign of weakness.The problem is,one less hour of sleep is not equal to an extra hour of achievement.In many cases the opposite occurs.When you lose an hour of sleep,it decreases your productivity,health,and ability to think the following day.The lack of sleep can lead to many other negative events.In addition to less achievement at work,you skip regular exercise,and eat poorly.
According to a survey from the National Sleep Foundation,roughly 70percent of those surveyed do not get enough sleep.Another influential study,conducted by Professor Anders Ericsson from University of Chicago,found that top performers sleep 8hours and 36minutes per day.The average American,for comparison,gets just 6hours and 51minutes of sleep.
People now realize the importance of eight hours of quality sleep.While getting this much quality sleep each night is easier said than done.There are a few tips to improve your night's sleep.What you do before bed matters most.More than 90percent of Americans admit to using smart phones in the hour before bed.This is an obvious problem in terms of allowing your mind to continue thinking actively.What you may not realize is that the light from mobile phones alone is a more direct threat to your sleep.So remember to keep away from all electronic devices in the hour before your bedtime.Creating the right environment in your bedroom can also help.It is easier to sleep in a room that is a few degrees cooler than the temperature you are accustomed to throughout the daytime.
Sacrificing sleep may no longer be a sign of strength.You will be more likely to get more work done when you put sleep first.Every hour of sleep is a wise investment(投资)-not an expense.
