Enhancing Entrepreneurial Performance: The Power of a Good Night's Sleep | Mariana Babas | Sleep Therapist at iDream Hypnotherapy | Inter:views 127

Most entrepreneurs overlook the importance of sleep and fail to prioritize it, despite it being a fundamental aspect of life and existence. 

 

We have been conditioned to believe sleeping fewer hours is a virtue of honor. Yet, depriving ourselves of sleep negatively impacts our health and affects our employees and businesses. Sleep deprivation can lead to moodiness, heightened reactivity, impaired cognitive function, and compromised decision-making abilities. These consequences can prove detrimental to both our businesses and employee relations. 

 

A good night's sleep goes beyond having a big chunk of sleep at night to combining quality and quantity in your sleep cycle. As entrepreneurs, we are responsible for overseeing businesses and employees, and prioritizing a good night's sleep allows us to wake up refreshed, invigorated, energized, and ready to face the day. A good night's sleep will set you up for success.
