When you routinely experience your optimal sleep, you perform better. The National Sleep Foundation[1] says you:
- Recover more quickly from distractions
- Prevent burnout
- Make better decisions
- Improve your memory, and
- Make less mistakes
Recent research[2] even shows that if you get better sleep, you also enjoy life more because you experience higher life satisfaction and more positive emotional experiences.
