Let me begin by thanking you for reading this newsletter. It’s been two months since I began writing it and the number of followers and positive responses I’ve received has continued to grow.
It’s very much appreciated and means a lot to me. For those new subscribers, you can read back issues here.
Today, I’m addressing a topic that is so critical, it will take two issues (at least!).
Sleep.
Almost everyone I meet complains that they do not get enough sleep.
Part of this is due to the normalization of sleep deprivation.
With the 24/7/365 world we live in, people almost glorify not getting sleep - it’s a badge of honor for how hard they’re working.
Nonsense.
People become accustomed to feeling tired and assume it is normal, not realizing the impact it has on their productivity and overall health.
Here’s a stat that will blow your mind. According to the National Library of Medicine, insufficient sleep has an estimated economic impact of more than $411 billion each year in the United States alone.

11 个月Sleep it self is one thing, sleep quality another, bad sleeping habits a third and just after this No 1 important health affecting factor comes physical activity as the No 1.1 important health factor. Healthy life has become hard work with all that planning and keeping track of sneaky bad habits?? Much easier when we had no electricity and couldnt do anything but sleep in the dark and constantly move around during the day to find food and got motivated to run sprint intervals when someone else were planning to eat us for lunch ;)

11 个月I've often mistaken lack of sleep for "being productive". How many times are we in a zombie state working late where we'd get more done by going to bed and circling back in the morning?
