Sleep – Page 8 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

The day begins the night before

Does waking up excite you?

Does waking up feel like a chore?

Hit the snooze repeatedly?

Can’t wait for your alarm to go off?

Going to bed early to get adequate rest is one of the most elusive habits for adults.

There will always be exceptions, and unpredictable issues keeping us awake later, but on average, we should be in control of the rest of our time.

Totally missed the mark last night

Totally missed the mark last night.

Most of my life i used an easy “fix” for a crazy-busy schedule (which is a daily occurrence).

Morning coffee.

Over time, what i created (and possibly you too) was a lifelong habit of sleep deprivation.

And over time, to keep up the “energy” during the day, i’d drink mid-day caffeine too.

The antidote that works for me is eight hours of sleep and a meaningful life-purpose.

To deny this feels unnatural

To deny this feels unnatural.

How’s the daily routine?

A daily, regular and intentional bedtime?

A daily, regular and intentional rise-and-shine time?

Health benefits that pay long-term dividends.

The ability to awaken without hitting the snooze?

The excitement for the gift of another day?

Of course this isn’t possible everyday. Life happens. But fight, daily, to create and sustain a healthy daily routine.

Otherwise we’ll be fighting daily to compensate for an unhealthy daily routine.

Getting eight hours of sleep is a renewed focus

Eight nights ago i got 10 hours of sleep. This is big. And every night since then has been 8 or 7.5, including the last three nights clocking in at eight.

Eight hours of sleep two nights in a row.

Long time coming.

Must. Make. It. The. Standard. Not. The. Exception.
