Some people sleep for six hours or less. Others get seven hours or more. Why? One
group maintains healthy sleep patterns and the other doesn’t. Here are five reasons
you need a consistent sleep pattern.
Type #1: Ability to Think Clearly
According to the Clifton Strengths Test, many people are strategic. To be so, requires clear thinking. Lack of sleep robs your brain of critical thinking skills. Depending on your job, that skill alone can be the difference between success at work and none. You can avoid a workplace injury or become a statistic. Getting good sleep helps you think clearer!
Type #2: Control Your “Body Clock”
When you’re talking to someone about sleep, you may hear them say, “I wake up at _______ every morning like clockwork!” There’s a reason for this. Your brain and body start to slow down at a certain time in the early evening. It’s preparing you for sleep. The more consistent your “pre-sleep ritual” is, the more likely you will sleep through the night. Just think of this as your “body clock.” So yes, putting on your PJ’s and slippers after work matters!
Type #3: Maintains Good Exercise Habits
It’s easier to hit the gym when you wake up refreshed! Not so much if you wake up feeling exhausted because you didn’t get any Z’s, right? Your consistent sleep pattern prepares you to maintain your good exercise habits. Treat your sleep as a sacred habit. Like eating three meals a day and bathing, get the sleep you need each night. You will wake up a new person!
