Sleepless nights, unsuccessful days

30 Day Challenge #1: TED Talks
Day 13

So I'm quite exhausted today. I didn't get much sleep last night, and when I actually was asleep it wasn't a very good sleep. So needless to say I'm a bit tired today. Which from my experiences from the last 4 years as an undergrad is something I should be used to. As an undergrad sleep was a luxury I came across every few days. I was well known for my lack of sleep. At times it worked for me, and other times not so much. Ironically, now that I'm in grad school I actually get much more sleep so I've kind of gotten accustomed to it. So nights of little sleep kind of throw me off a bit. Now that I get more sleep most of the time these days I find that I feel more motivated, and obviously more energetic (although I'm usually not lacking energy no matter how much sleep I get). It's that motivation that's important. I get more done, and I usually get better work done.

So in honor of how exhausted (and not motivated) I am today, here's a talk about sleep. Arianna Huffington talks about how sleep makes us succeed. Seemed fitting for the day. So watch and enjoy while I go fuel up on caffeine before my 4pm meeting.



Now go enjoy the rest of your day, and get plenty of sleep tonight!!
