Do we really need the recommended (as adults) 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night? This is a question I have often asked myself because not only do I naturally wake up after only about 5 to 6 hours most nights (although I don't feel rested) and then just lie there waiting on my alarm clock, but also because I sometimes feel awful if I get too much sleep. So I've been wondering how much sleep do I really need.
I saw an interesting video on YouTube where the guy talks about famous people who only got about 4 hours of sleep at night but they took naps throughout the day. Initially I thought, sweet and I love naps (see my ideal nap kit below), but I don't know if I feel that you can really properly function only about 4 hours. Plus, that's a lot of naps in the day and even I don't want to nap that much.
Then I came across this video below and realized that my problem is more with my quality of sleep rather than the amount. Because no matter how much sleep I get, I hardly ever feel like I am completely rested when I wake up and will hit my snooze often. The same thing happens when I take a nap. I oftentimes don't doze off right away no matter how tired I am.
So I need to start focusing on how to get my mind to properly rest. This week I am going to research and try out several techniques to see which one (or combination) is going to lead to the best sleep for me. I am going to start tonight with a suggestion that was in the below video and read for 30 minutes before I go to bed. I picked up a copy of * Your Magic Power to be Rich!
and can't wait to start reading that tonight.
