Ariana Huffington in her TED talk highlights an important point about the link between Sleep and Job Performance. ๐
She says that we live in a culture where living on less sleep is publicized as something Macho. Every day, people boast that they have slept less yet delivered on tasks or even claim they completed an important task by cutting down on sleep.
Have you heard of this saying, โ๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐โ?
Cutting down on sleep to complete your work has severe long-term consequences.
In the book โThe Compound Effect,โ Darren Hardy raises an important point: bad habits do not show instant results.
Imagine if, by smoking a cigarette, you saw immediate bad healthโno one would smoke. However, the harmful effects of smoking compound over time, leading to diseases that appear only after months or years of smoking.
Similarly, cutting down on sleep wonโt show immediate negative outcomes. Instead, you might see benefits like recognition for completing tasks. ๐ด But the harmful effects of sleep deprivation also compound, eventually leading to:
1) Lower short-term memory retention
2) Digestion issues
3) Pressure to work against the body
4) Micro-sleeping at crucial moments, which could cost your life
I deeply connect with the point on microsleep. Iโve had 2-3 instances of thisโluckily, Iโm alive, but things could have gone wrong.
In short, cutting down on sleep is not an option.
Tom Rath beautifully summarized sleep in one statement:

So, invest time and respect the hours spent sleeping, and youโll experience the many benefits that come with good sleep. ๐

I was recently chatting with a person who appreciated my work.
He said, "My sleep is manageable. If I have any sleep problems, I will contact you."
It was satisfying that I got recognized as an expert on this topic.
But as much as I would love to have a client, I would be happier if the issue were prevented because, as the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure."
If you want to make the stitch right on time before preventing nine,
you can read my book and learn how to avoid sleep issues.

Itโs already happened to two of my clients ๐.
One of my clients understood how the brain works and was amazed that even a CEO could think like him. He did not beat himself up previously he always used to beat himself.
He would have been completely stressed about this situation in the past, but this time, he stayed calm and in control.
I asked another client:
โAre you worried now? No, I donโt worry because I have understood that the more I worry the more I will get tangled in itโ.
Small changes, big results.
Do you dare?

I was recently coming back home. We had our dinner, and at almost 11 p.m., I noticed that the traffic police were checking for drivers who had consumed alcohol.
I agree that the risk of drinking and driving is dangerous because the ability to respond is impaired.
I remember seeing multiple billboards saying, โDo not drink and drive.โ
But there is a far greater risk of driving when you are sleep-deprived. ๐ด
My scariest moment was when I was at the wheel and had a micro-sleep. I am lucky to tell this story because anything could have happened.
So before you get behind the wheel, donโt drive if you drink, but also exercise caution when you are sleep-deprived, because the risk can be far more dangerous. And the scary partโno one is there to catch you and stop you from driving. ๐.

In this hue and cry where people glamourize sleep deprivation. I was chatting with a CEO and he said โInstead of Sleeping I can talk to some of my team โ.
While it is a rarity, less than 1% of people can live with less sleep.
Why?
Because sleep fuels your emotional intelligence
๐ EMOTIONAL REGULATION
When you're well-rested
โ You're more in control of your emotions. You may vent out something that could cost you a lifetime to repair.
When sleep-deprived
โ You're more irritable and reactive.
๐ EMPATHY
Studies show that sleep deprivation
โ Affects your ability to read faces and emotional cues.
If you're missing out on sleep
โ You may struggle to connect with others.
๐ DECISION-MAKING UNDER PRESSURE
Sleep is essential for
โ Maintaining clarity in stressful situations.
Poor sleep
โ Clouds judgment and increases impulsive decisions.

You need quality rest.
Your ability to lead, connect, and thrive depends on it.
So next time you're tempted to sacrifice sleep for work.
Remember, Your emotional intelligence and your success are at stake.

Alvin Toffler said โThe illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. โ
That indication of learning, unlearning, and relearning happens when we sleep.
What do you think?

Shashi was not educated in English. Her teenage daughter made fun of her English, and she felt uncomfortable attending Parent-Teacher meetings. ๐
Her husband believed she was born to just make laddoos at home. Shashi came to the U.S. hesitantly, afraid of being surrounded by strangers.
Fast forward 4 weeks, and she is giving a speech at a wedding. ๐คโจ โฃ
โฃ
What did she do in those 4 weeks that she hadnโt done in the last 40 years?
She spent her time in a community that valued her commitment. They werenโt judgmental, and with that support system, she found the confidence to give the wedding toast. โฃ
โฃ
In short, you can get videos or advice (strategy) for free. But where most people fall flat is the lack of a supportive, non-judgmental environment. โฃ
โฃ
People who cheer you on when you make mistakes โฃ
People who want you to succeed ๐ โฃ
People who appreciate what you do (In the class, Shashi was called an "Entrepreneur") โฃ
People who encourage and love your uniqueness โค๏ธ โฃ
โฃ
Before making any choice, always value your support system more than the strategy. Because strategy is widely available for free, achieving meaningful progress becomes difficult without the right support system. ๐ก

Thanks to many jobs in the IT industry, people enjoy 2 days off every week. ๐
Compared to manufacturing jobs and even academic roles, where teachers need to work 6 days a week, IT professionals are relatively lucky in that regard.โฃ
However, Iโve seen many people in the IT industry drastically change their routines over the weekend.โฃPeople sleep until 11 AM, sometimes even noon, saying they need to make up for the lost sleep from weekdays. ๐ดโฃ
Some even argue that the math adds up, meaning they've fulfilled their weekly sleep quota.โฃ
Hereโs how they calculate it:โฃ
56 hours of sleep a week = 8 hours x 7 daysโฃ
But on weekdays: 5 x 7 = 35 hours (assuming 7 hours of sleep per night)โฃ
On weekends: 2 x 10 = 20 hours (assuming 10 hours per night)โฃ
So, 35 + 20 = 55 hours for the week. Seems close enough, right?โฃ
While this looks fine mathematically, sleep doesnโt work that way. Let me explain with an analogy:โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
Imagine you're a painter, and every day, you need to complete one painting. ๐จโฃ
On Monday, you start painting but donโt finish it.โฃ
On Tuesday, you start another painting, but it also remains incomplete.โฃ
This pattern continues throughout the week, each day leaving unfinished work behind.โฃ
By Saturday's arrival, you have the extra time to finish one or two paintings.
But on Monday, you're back to starting fresh work, and unfinished paintings pile up again.
โฃ
The reality? Youโll unlikely catch up on everything, no matter how hard you try over the weekend.โฃ
This analogy helps explain why you canโt make up for lost sleep over the weekend. ๐คโฃ
The brain can only recover from sleep lost over the last 1 or 2 days. Even if you sleep longer over the weekend, the damage from several nights of poor sleep can't fully be undone.โฃ
Sleep math isnโt a simple linear equationโmany complex processes occur during sleep that canโt be caught up later.โฃ
If thereโs one key takeaway here:โฃ
Make sure you maintain consistent sleep timings throughout the week. Your body will thank you for it. ๐โฃ
