Go To Sleep At An Earlier Time
If you don’t sleep well, you won’t perform well the next day. It’s as simple as that. Good sleep provides the foundation for your stores of energy.
We all know those people who claim that they can “kill it” on fewer than six hours of sleep. But according to researchers, this just isn’t true. The research states that the average person needs 7 – 9 hours of sleep to perform optimally.
For many people, their levels of sleep deprivation have plateaued over the years. During this time, they may feel somewhat tired, but can still go about their day. However, interesting research has come out that states that consistent sleep deprivation can cause a downward shift in mental performance. This can happen even when the subjects thought their mental performance was fine.
Try This Takeaway: For the next 30 days, go to bed by 10pm every night. That includes weekends.
