Effects of Sleeping Patterns

Did you know that regular sleeping habits can actually make your day less stressful?

Just by going to bed early and waking up early can result in a more productive day

I'll give you an example.  When you have an assignment, or a project, or anything on your to-do list that hasn't gotten done and you are starting to feel tired, GO TO BED.

Studies show that going to bed then, and waking up earlier to do that thing, you will be able to be more effective.  Let's say your project will take you two hours.  Go to bed, and wake up two hours earlier.  You get the same amount of sleeping time, but with the added energy provided from sleep, you will be able to finish your project even faster.  Amazing right?  Most people call that common sense; although, naturally, we put off that feeling of going to bed on time to wake up early because somehow we feel we won't have the time so we sacrifice our sleep instead.

Sleep is the only time in our day where we grow and produce energy

Not once throughout the day does our body re-cooperate unless we are sleeping.

Sleep provides more energy than food, daily excercise, and caffeine, (which by the way really doesn't give your body evergy).
The next time you come across the two way path of sleep or staying up, GO TO BED.  You might know you have to get your project done, but your body does not.  You might think because it's a Friday night that you can throw off your sleep schedule.
Your body does not recognize the difference from a Monday to a holiday to a Friday night.  Regular sleep will keep you supplied with more energy.  It's not how much sleep you get, it's when you get your sleep.
