Happiness Habits – Day 17: Sleep: The Key To Happiness
Making sure you get sufficient rest can help you feel more energized. You get more done, which boosts your self-confidence and your overall happiness. Making sure you get your beauty rest makes a lot of sense. I’m sure you’ve seen this in action. When you don’t sleep well, or don’t get a chance to get enough rest, you end up grumpy and agitated, right?. You’re now in a cycle where your stress levels go way up, which makes you feel worse. You don’t get work done, or it’s done less than well, you start to feel depressed and that leads to more sleepless nights. It’s a nasty, vicious cycle. And yet, I see over and over people making sleep their LAST priority.
If you can break that cycle and make sleep Priority Number One, everything changes for the better. You’ll wake up in a great mood and ready to tackle the day. You’ll get work and chores done and still have time to relax and unwind. That leads to a better night sleep, and an even better morning the next day.
