Do you find yourselves reading those motivational books or rather listening to those random TED talks on Youtube that really slap the reality on your face of how somethings are really important, a basic thing such as sleep is deemed as so important for our well-being.
I get excited reading e- mails because maybe that application you sent three weeks ago had now gotten a response and you are there hoping and praying that you are among the shortlisted applicants but to your surprise it is that site you had signed up for a decade ago that had sent its weekly mails OMG!
Apparently, I get some good life lessons from a couple of sites that I once signed up for 10,000 years ago ,one of them being the Quora app.I get reminders of how sleep is quite important and how waking up early is more beneficial to once daily productivity. This usually hit hard because I’m in that bracket of people who struggle to catch sleep to a point of now branding myself and bragging to people of how I am becoming a night owl oops! You’d prolly think I work overnight.
I am the type of people who would even get to bed at 10pm and convince myself that I really need to catch some early sleep, but would still be up five hours later trying to “catch” that sleep. I am made to understand that sleeping early and at the exact time is quite effective and trust me I still struggle to do that in as much as I know of its importance. The thing with staying up late for some people ,is the fact that you will have to wake up so late to a point of feeling so useless and begin questioning your productivity.
You see, despite reading all those e-mails and sites that speak of how sleep is important, I am still the same old me who tends to sleep quite late and still wake up late at times {I think my problems wake me up nowadays ha-ha}.
This applies to every other thing that we tend to set ourselves to do after getting the motivation from books,blogs,speakers but still hold ourselves back and fail to do whatever was intended.
I am made to understand that change starts from the mind {more of a shift in your mindset} and when you finally make a decision to do something ,you really have to fully make up your mind about it.
I guess for me to start sleeping early as planned, there is need for a change in my mindset !!
