Sleep is the bane of most people’s existence. When I say this, I mean the lower limits, not the upper limits. One soul far and few between sleeps in excess, and sleep might be the bane of their existence for eating away at precious productive hours. Most people, however lose sleep to be more productive and in fact become less productive.
Last night and this morning reminded me of the problems. Last night was an unintentional late night with the hot air from the day not leaving the fan cooled room. Instead of 11:15, it turned into a 1 am adventure through light, dark and all in between. Soon enough I fell asleep only to wake at 5 am and then again at 6, before sleeping through my alarm at 6:30 and waking at 7:45. I’m sure no one who is reading this has ever experience a night like the one above. The day was full of slow mental energy, lethargic encounters and less than stellar performance at my craft. The day finished young, and the night tonight will be good.
However, sometimes others, myself included have this lack of sleep in order to be more productive the night before. Once in a while this is okay if there is a deadline or if there is something that cannot possibly wait. However from my humble observation, it is better to be moderate in this special area in order to have special days, everyday. This is mainly a reminder for me to get more sleep…onto the next day!
