Hey Friend,
You know what one of the most important factors is that determines your happiness, health and success in life?
It’s not luck…
It’s not talent…
It’s not heritage…
It’s something much more boring, but something completely within your control.
It’s your sleep.
If you sleep like sh*t – I can guarantee every other aspect of your life will be suffering.
Sleep deprivation is literally one of the most effective forms of torture.
But the most crazy thing is we torture ourselves with modern forms of sleep deprivation!
Unlimited TV shows to binge at the press of a button. Unlimited short-videos to doom-scroll on your phone. Unlimited access to sugary foods that pair so nicely when you’re glued to a screen…
It’s so obvious.
Yet why do so many people struggle with this?
Well, these modern forms of torture appear ‘pleasurable’ on the surface. To help you relax, unwind and escape reality for a bit.
But what brings pleasure in the moment, brings pain in the future.
We’re all suckers from time to time.
It got me earlier this week.
Staying up longer than I knew I should. Scrolling on my phone in between commercials of trashy reality TV. Then going to bed tired but ‘wired’.
Resulting in,
A sh*t sleep.
Waking up late.
And starting my day in reactive mode.
If this is done on repeat it’s the recipe for an unhappy, unhealthy and unsuccessful life.
So I’m bringing back stronger boundaries to my night time routine.
Because I know if I’m in bed early, then I wake up early. And if I wake up early, I win the morning. And if I win the morning, I win the day.
And if this is done on repeat, then it’s a recipe for a happy, healthy and successful life.
It’s simple.
But sometimes you need to slap yourself in the face to remind yourself of these things.
Protect your sleep like it’s your most important activity of the day.
Because it is.
