Lessons I’ve Learned: After reading Dr. Maas’ book on sleep called Power Sleep a few years ago, I was convinced that there is good science and reasoning behind getting enough sleep. he’s a Cornell professor so who am I to disagree? He talks about how it takes a few weeks, but once you get caught up on sleep, you’ll feel better, happier, healthier and smarter. I was running myself ragged and felt like crap all the time. I was sick a lot. So it struck a chord for me. I worked hard to get caught up following his guide and I definitely experienced a huge difference for the better. And still do when I’m sleeping enough. There are exceptions, but I try.
It took me ages to make changes in my life without feeling like I was making sacrifices, but I still see a benefit in getting enough sleep. Also, by making it a priority every once in a while, I’m reminded of just how good it is for me.
I know it sounds like a self-help shtick, and since we’ve nearly got the same last name you think I’m promoting my cousin. his book can come across as a bit self-help, especially the title, but it’s an easy read and is based on science. Worst case, you feel more rested and wasted $10.
