I used to be an epic sleep procrastinator. I knew I should be going to bed around 10pm, but I often decided to finish “one last thing” for work before bed, and I would inevitably stay up just late enough to ensure I would never get enough sleep.
I finally fixed my sleep procrastination with this one simple realization:
That last 30 min of productivity late at night translates to feeling tired the entire next day. Thirty minutes of productivity in exchange for an entire day of squandered productivity. It’s simply not worth it.
With that thought, I have finally learned to shut it down, crawl into my cozy bed early, and feel energized, focused and inspired the entire next day. Try this tonight.
