Let’s Sleep Our Way to the Top!!

 

Having just met Arianna Huffington for the first time and getting her book “Thrive” I thought I’d share a few of her quotes here (and her 12-Step process):

 

Step 1: GET 30 MINUTES MORE SLEEP TONIGHT “My single most effective step for being effective, productive and creative is getting enough sleep.”

 

In my own life I have found this to be so true. For years I tried to follow the norm and time my body to the world’s time schedule and clock. This didn’t work so well…and led me to being tired and cranky.

 

Then one summer I had the luxury of living in Hawaii for six weeks. Sure it was sort of a vacation, but I am a writer by profession and can work anywhere and anytime I’d like. In other words, I choose my own time schedule.  So I decided to lend into a new time zone and time schedule.  I went to bed when my body told me it was tired, and I woke up when my body said I was rested.  I loved this…as I have never been a “morning” person and being able to sleep in was sweet!!

 

So when Arianna mentioned this, and I found that it was her first step, I was like, AMEN to that!  Right up my ally…and my advice to anyone is to GET MORE SLEEP!!  If you just do this one thing, it will increase your productivity and effectiveness greatly.  Just think how much this world and our interactions with others will be improved.  Let’s stress, less irritability, and less caffeine needed!! lol

Here’s to you and I getting more sleep…

Thanks Arianna :-)
