The number one habit that is needed to get more productivity out of your life is to get enough sleep. Eating and sleeping are equally important processes required for the body to function in its full potential. By reducing sleep time, you might increase your working time, but you have to care about the quality of the work too.But, most importantly, your health comes first, and don't affect it by forgetting to sleep.
Many have the problem of not going into sleep mode despite lying on the bed for hours. The main culprit for this problem is the entry of digital devices into our lifestyle. The light from the devices affect our eyes so much that they make our brain get confused with sleep patterns, and directly affects our body's internal sleep clock. It's nearly impossible to get rid of all digital devices, so make sure that you don't touch your mobile phones or tablets atleast for one hour before sleeping.
If you feel tired despite sleeping for 7 or 8 hours a day, try this trick : Go to sleep exactly at the same time everyday. If you feel tired the next day, adjust your wake up time by plus or minus 15 minutes.For eg, if you sleep at 10 pm and wake up at 6 am feeling tired, the try waking up at 6:15 am or 5:45 am. If you still feel tired, try waking up at 6:30 or 5:30 am. Our sleep is made up of many cycles, and its important that you wake up in a less intensive part in a sleep cycle to feel less sleepy.
Recent research suggests that our body is designed to go to sleep two times per day. So, its healthy to take a nap in the afternoon. The nap may last from 20-30 minutes. Any more than that will make you long for more sleeping time, and that may make you miss your classes or get you fired from your job. So keep an alarm for 20 minutes and wake up. You will feel very fresh and won't get sleepy during your afternoon session.
