Feel like you’re lacking in sleep?
Did you know seventeen hours of sustained wakefulness leads to a decrease in performance equivalent to a blood alcohol-level of 0.05%?
That is the legal blood alcohol limit for driving in many Countries! So, getting 5 hours of sleep a night is like, well being drunk. And if you don't take a quick refreshing nap, chances are, you're at 0.05 before you even get ready for bed.
Want proof more sleep could even save your life? The extra hour of sleep when clocks are put back at the start of daylight savings in Canada has been found to coincide with a dramatic fall in the number of road accidents.
So, just by getting 7 or 8 hours of sleep tonight will allow you to experience a radical change in your productivity tomorrow.
Here are some other ways to boost your energy levels tomorrow morning after you get a full 7 or 8 hours night of sleep tonight:
1. Spring out of bed quickly like its the best day ever (lying around will keep you tired all day)
2. Drink at least one glass of water immediately and stay hydrated all day (dehydration causes fatigue, duh!)
3. Eat a high protein meal (the amino acids in protein will help your brain create neurotransmitters to boost your brain power and we all want that!)
These may sound like small changes, but the effects they can have on your life are bigger than you can imagine. Feel the greatness, small steps lead to bigger paths, you're the only one in control of you, so go get em!
