Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is to just go to bed.
If you have reached the evening and are feeling overwhelmed or sad or exhausted, do yourself a favor and go to sleep as soon as you can.
Most likely everything will feel different when you wake adequately rested in the morning.
So, despite the widespread perception, most people do get enough sleep from a total hour perspective.
In fact, the number of hours people sleep per day has been rising over the past few decades, according to the American Time Use Survey.
But what tends to happen is that people sleep in an irregular fashion, getting too little sleep in the first half of the week, and then crashing in the second half.
It makes for exhaustion and an inability to maintain good habits.
While sleeping less in the first half of the week might seem productive, because there would be more space for work and chores, if you just crash and make up the hours in the second half of the week, you haven't saved any time at all.
You've just moved it around at the cost of a lot of unpleasantness.
Far better to sleep the same amount every single day.
In other words, we all need a bedtime.
I tell people that you should only stay up past your bedtime if you have a really good reason.
However, you don't need a good reason to go to bed before your bedtime.
If you are exhausted for some reason or another, there is no reason to stay up.
Don't fool yourself that you are going to get something great done.
If you are exhausted, you are not going to finish any of your personal projects.
If you are exhausted, you are not going to get ahead on work.
Don't remind yourself how far behind you are in forge ahead.
Don't try to have quality time with your spouse that won't really be quality time at all.
Just go to bed. If you do, one of two things will happen.
One is that you will sleep to your normal wake-up time.
If you have gone to bed prior to your bedtime and wake up at the normal time, then you have likely either made up a small sleep debt or have banked a little extra rest.
Either way, you will feel incredibly well rested when you wake up.
When you get enough sleep, you feel a little less sleepy.
When you get enough sleep, you feel like you can conquer the world.
I am willing to bet that whatever seemed overwhelming the night before will no longer feel overwhelming.
It will feel doable. And so, you will do it.
Sleep is a superpower. The other thing that might happen is that you will wake, well rested, before your alarm.
This tends to happen if you don't have a sleep debt to work off and you are exhausted for other reasons, like an emotionally or physically rough day.
When this happens, well, congratulations, you now have found time.
It's found time at a point of day when people often hit their peak of energy.
If you are up before your family or before you need to be, you could read or work or exercise or do something creative or sit there and ponder life quietly if you don't want to disturb anyone else.
I am not particularly a morning person, but when I travel from the east coast to the west coast and thus pop up at 5 a.m.
feeling like it's 8 a.m., I am able to do all manner of great things before breakfast.
Going to bed earlier than normal can give you the superpower in normal life.
In any case, it's better than trying to forge on to solve everything in an exhausted state.
You won't solve everything.
You will probably solve nothing and get frustrated.
So just go to bed. Life will feel better in the morning.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
