Key Takeaways:

There is more to life than work and if you’re not convinced, imagine yourself in a hospital bed not being able to move your business forward or take care of people. Slowing down will help us go faster. When we’re giving ourselves time to rest, we can be more effective. According to research, not giving yourself time to sleep will make you vulnerable to sickness - think about all the time you lose or opportunities wasted because you’re down and out. The tendency of exhausted, sleepless people is that they become more emotionally unstable, more unavailable to their family and friends, and snap quickly at others or become easily irritated. You’re less likely to get sick and more likely to recover quickly if you give yourself time to sleep. Deep sleep can help you come up with fresh ideas, and can also give you clarity of mind that is required for tough decisions.

"Dream-sleep can help with processing emotions and problem solving… sometimes, just going to sleep actually lets your brain think about that, you’ll wake up the next day with a fresh idea." — Renee Schulte
