(Infographic) How All That Lack Of Sleep Is Killing You!

lack of sleep killing you


While posting this article I’d say that “I’m one hell of a hypocrite”. 5 hours sleep from the night before and a wired brain that will not let me sleep until I have finished my updates, is just another daily experience for me. A number of Entrepreneurs and hard workers boast about having less than the average 7+ hours sleep, but is this really the best thing for us? Could it be more effective to sleep in so we are more in tune to take on a 15 hour day?

So I decided to look around for some info on lack of sleep and how it affects our performance. This Infographic sums up the best information on this topic.

    I know this is true and still don’t get nearly enough sleep! However, an infographic is worth a thousand words, so maybe I will do better!

    For myself, I get more done and make less mistakes when well rested. Many occupations these days are at war with the employees getting sleep. I also hear people bragging about how they only need a few hours but I am not one of them.

    Great article and very impressed you put this together…I know how time consuming these posts can get.
    The only thing I would comment on is that I don’t think that it’s so much the “sleeping in” that is important but rather the getting to bed at a reasonable time – and clocking in a solid 8 hours of sleep each night.

    Of course everyone’s circadian cycle varies slightly, but generally speaking we are meant to cycle our sleep with night.

    My father used to say: “Each hour BEFORE midnight is worth TWO.”
