No Time for Sleep!
I have too much to do to sleep. Watch the video as I explain to you what I mean. I know I need sleep for my health, but 5 solid hours of sleep is good for me right now.
If you have any suggestions of comments please leave them below. THANKS!

The importance of sleep is crucial for functioning in our everyday lives. There is no such thin as catching up on sleep as we do not have a sleep bank that we can tap into when we need it.
I totally agree. I have been sleeping less some what. I believe in picking one day out of the month to bypass all night. Although I do note a sense of sleep being like one’s battery charger, but sometimes you have to be on call with no battery charge to follow through with that productive tide. College students pull all nighter’s for the exam. so why not do it sometimes in life.
I agree with Mike. I envy those who can get by on 4-5 hours sleep, but I just can’t do it. I need 6 hours minimum, though of course the occasional late night/ very early morning is fine.
I also think it helps to get into a very good routine. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day and it’ll get easier.
If you’re trying to rise a little earlier, then it’ll take time for your body to get used to it. Do it gradually.
The problem is in our mind. It’s always busy to finish this or that. Another big issue is the hunger at night time which causes gain weight.
Boy, my sleep really varies. I can easily get by some weeks with 5-6 hours and then there are some weeks where I need at least 8+. However, if I sleep past 7:30, I feel like I am wasting my day!
You can turn over as much as 60% of grey matter in your brain when you sleep. Sleep super important. If you don’t sleep you increase stress hormones that store fat. You also don’t have the same level of vitality. It’s the best bang for your buck too.
Love, love, love your energy, Frank C.! And your points are spot-on. “Everyone always wakes up tired.” I hate when people try to tell me working 2 jobs @ over 80 hours/wk. is too much. They always say, “When do you sleep?”, and I reply, “Why do you sleep so much?” Gets them every time! People loooove to make excuses for themselves.
People don’t necessarily like to work hard!
But, you have the upper hand…you goals! THAT is what gets you out of bed. Wanting to succeed!!!
