Sleep – Page 9 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Little rest for the driven?

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speakers — Time for lights out. Above, this was the last photo i took on the final night of The Osborne Dancing Spectacle of Lights.

Lights out.

i really need to get a grip on my sleeping habits. For two or three months now it’s been challenging (nearly nonexistent) to get eight hours per night.

Finding the need to take a mid-day nap of anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour; whatever my work load allows.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Sleep is an asset

Eye glasses — We see what we want to see. Not seeing the obvious may mean we don’t want to.

Sleep is an asset.

So even though yesterday was a rest day, meaning no run or gym, there can still be active accomplishments.

As simple as actively ensuring we get our optimal rest. It varies for each of us. Mine is eight hours.

It hasn’t happened in several days, but last night i got 7.5 hours.

Sleep is a commonly neglected battle

iPhone lock screen screen shot — Yesterday i caught the time at a fun time. Getting decent rest is not as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Sleep is a commonly neglected battle. Caffeine (and other drug) consumption, unlimited entertainment options, stress, pressure – over time – slowly erode our sleep habits. As CEO of You, Inc, this is your responsibility to address and correct. Even if it takes years.

PS. This is me talking to me. The battle to overcome excuses and never-ending challenges is real.

Real life in real time yesterday

34th annual Fraternity reunion — Maggie was the center of attention, She found my “Jack the Bear”.

Slept in until 6am yesterday. Why mention it? Because being intentional about our health means we over manage certain things we used to under manage or ignore.

Sleep is one of them.

While sleeping in didn’t get me to eight hours, it did provide one more hour than waking up at 5am, which would have been better for getting my writing done.

We write our own scripts

What is possible lies dormant (and possibly dies for good) if the scripts in our head tell us to stop thinking about big, hairy, audacious goals.

Last night was the 11th straight night of eight hours sleep.

The last time this happened was, um…sorry, can’t recall the last time.
