Sleep. Thereās no hiding from it. You can postpone it as much as possible, but itāll eventually claim you. Rather than fight it or bemoan how little sleep youāre getting, itās best if you learn to use sleep to your advantage. If you do, youāll be fighting fit on all fronts – everything will seem more possible and life will be filled with a base layer of energy.
Itās easy to see why not prioritising your sleep makes your life not just more difficult, but a slog from minute one. According to some research from the University of Chicago, a four to five-hour sleep can reduce a manās testosterone levels to that of a man 10 to 15 years his senior. Its biological power must not be underestimated. A lack of sleep is fundamental to our everyday existence.
