RE: Pennsif’s Progress #582 – Let's talk about sleep
Sleep is important for your overall health, @pennsif. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. I was burning the candle at both ends for about 4 months last fall and I really noticed the effect it had on me. So now I am in bed and asleep by ten and up at 3:30 or 4:00 so I can take my morning walk on the beach and have time to meditate. Then I notice the productivity goes up and I can deal whatever the day brings me.
Wow, you do well on little sleep huh?! I need 8 hours minimum and do much better on 9 every night. I've been that way always and it has always amazed me that some people work well with 5 hours. It must be wonderful not to have to stay in bed for so long out of every 24 hours. Do you think it is learned or just your nature?
I think it is just my nature. I know when I feel the need to sleep more, I am ill and need the sleep. Otherwise, I do well on less than others. If I get too much sleep, I tend to be groggy and my thinking is not as clear. This may change as I get older as I did with my parents and grandparents...
