Getting More From Your Sleep

Losing sleep is directly linked to poor focus and memory. Therefore, sleep is extremely vital for your overall productivity.

Below are the ways to get more sleep:

1. Wind down. Give yourself 30 minutes to relax before going to bed. You can read a book, listen to music or write your journal.

2. Clear your mind (from your mental to-do list). Write down your list of unfinished tasks and unresolved issues before going to bed. Knowing that you have put it down on paper, you will be less worried for not remembering what you have to do the following day. This frees up your mental space and allows you to sleep more peacefully.

3. Go to bed earlier. Set yourself a bedtime and stick to it. If your usual sleeping time is 1am, you may want to adjust slowly by heading to bed at 1230am instead. Continue to adjust your sleeping bedtime until you reach your target.
