How to find time to sleep?
Procrastination or putting off activities and tasks knowingly and without reason is very common among humans, or at least among a lot of us.
But have you heard about procrastinating sleep? It seems weird at first because sleeping is reputedly useful, liked by everybody, and doesn’t seem to take any effort. So why do we put it off?
One of the reasons is thought to be the fact that we’re living in such a constant flow of information, and there are so many of different responsibilities and communication channels that people have too little ALONE time. The only option seems to pinch it from late evenings and nights when chats cease, there are less news, chores and work are done, and the rest of the family is asleep. Alone time is undoubtedly very important for our mental health and in the sense of your meaning of life, so you really need to make time for that, but not at the expense of sleep!
But how to find time?
To make alone time, first, think the schedule of your whole day. If you’re a morning person, maybe you can find an hour to exercise, read, or do a hobby in the morning, especially during summertime when the sun opens the day at 4 a.m. Secondly, take a critical look at the effective use of your time, and if that seems to be fine, think about the work distribution at work and at home. If others at work seem to exercise and have lunch with friends during the break but you don’t even take a break and bring work home with you, something needs to be done. The same goes to domestic chores. If no-one else but you cleans or contributes to dinner in any way, it’s time for negotiations and using your delegation skills.
Enjoy your alone and sleeping time!
