@VMOptions: Hah, very true.

@Jens: Yeah, nor am I. I recently lost about 15lbs, so I’m not planning on gaining it back due to loss of sleep.

Actually the hormone most responsible for weight gain due to lack of sleep is cortisol, the stress hormone. Not a fan.

Without the proper rest, I can’t focus properly and am generally less productive. You know the ole saying about all work and no play - the same applies to all work and no sleep!

@susana: Not sure if this is spam but it seems legitimate, so I’ll check it out.

@Tom: Exactly. I’ve been sleeping at around 10:30pm-11pm and I feel tons better on a daily basis. I used to sleep at around 2-4am. Yikes.

My current job means I work evening shifts which is killer on the sleeping pattern. However, new job is normal hours so I hope to develop a great sleep pattern! Like you say - a healthy sleeping pattern does not take long to pay off.

@Matt: Well, if it were just about management, it would be less of an issue. It’s just that some people (myself included) have a ton to do and just can’t fit it all into one day, so we try to stretch it.

@Affiliate Marketing: Yeah, same here. I’m trying to cut that out though.

Geez, I guess my sleep habits aren’t improving much.

I try to get a whole 5-6 hours of sleep a night, but usually score maybe 4-6 on average. I’ve also had this horrible habit of pulling all-nighters with zero sleep during the next day too, at least once a week. I can actually say, from experience (although I wouldn’t recommend it) that I can stay awake for up to 4 1/2 days straight, although by day 3, things get VERY confusing.

If a person is cutting sleep to get more work in, then they need to check their time management skills. 16 hours is a longggggg time.

@Tom: Yeah, the point is to get a few consistent deep-sleep cycles and hopefully a few REM sessions. Apparently, that’s when the brain does its house cleaning.

Incidentally, this is the second day I’ve had at least seven hours of sleep and I feel much better. It’s odd how a small change can have a big impact on output and feeling well in general.
