The various reasons why you lose sleep:
* You are addicted to a computer game and can’t stop playing.
* Perhaps your favorite television show is on a weekday night and you stay up for it even when you have to wake up early next morning.
* You just procrastinate sleep to stay awake, hoping to do something ‘productive’
* There is work to complete for your boss
None of these reasons except maybe the last is worth losing sleep over. Here, we’ll talk about the benefits of sleep and why you could easily be ahead of everyone else in this urban world where everyone lacks this important activity.
You Learn Better
We learn new things every day, not just at school. When you do your daily tasks, you learn to do it faster as you stumble upon more ways to enhance your performance. In this ever-changing world, we are often faced with situations where we have to constantly learn to adapt and cope with the new. Those who cannot will lose out and fail to figure out why those with enough sleep are performing better.
A lack of sleep reduces your ability to learn and remember how to do new tasks. Tests have shown that you have to sleep at least 6 hours to see an improvement in learning and those who slept 8 had an ever greater improvement.
You are More Creative
No, it isn’t just for the artists. You come up with creative ways to solve problems every single day. When you only have one hand available and you need to remove a pen cap, you would use your mouth to bite on the pen cap while you pull the pen out. That is one of the ways we put our creativity to use. You probably apply this to a larger scale in bigger situations that have a greater impact on your life. Creativity is probably the reason people get problems solved with great efficiency – when they find out how to do it in a new way better than the last. This, my friend, gets you promoted or gives you the new ideas that will bring your business to the next level.
A test was done where volunteers had to perform a memory task 8 hours after they were told about it. Those who got 8 hours sleep were much more likely to have found a creative way to solve the problem, simplifying the process and increasing their performance. This is why the intern that just enters your company and had enough sleep is already doing better than you. It is also why you can easily get ahead of the many sleep-deprived people.
You Focus Better, Decide Better and React Faster
You are able to pay more attention more easily. If you think your attention span is short, it may just be due to a lack of sleep rather than the lie that you tell yourself that your personality is the cause.
Having a lack of sleep has shown that you will have faultier decision-making, and tend to take more risks. You’ve probably met with a situation where you thought back and went “why didn’t I think of this earlier?” – And it is probably due to a lack of sleep.
When you lack sleep, you perform as badly as a drunken person on the road. Yes, tests have been done that has proven this fact. This means your risk of dying is also higher, when you don’t get enough sleep.
These are the benefits of getting good sleep, and I think it is what you had hoped to read about more than the live-longer benefits and all the wishy-washy theories, which you’ve probably gotten sick of.
Now, do you think you can dedicate more time to sleep? It makes your life better.
