As juvenile as it sounds, sometimes I wish I could spend a whole day sleeping — no work, no worries, only sleep. Essential workers who cover night shifts overhaul their entire sleep schedule in order to make ends meet as on-call doctors barely sleep a wink, rushing around the hospital while caring for their patients; not helping matters, overtime pay incentivizes people to overwork themselves for only a meager wage increase. Maybe some things really are worth sacrificing a night’s worth of sleep to accomplish. The trouble comes when neglecting sleep for the sake of greater productivity becomes a routine habit. Set a consistent sleep schedule and take naps during the day if you need to — even 20 short minutes of rest can work wonders for your focus.
