Sweet Sweet Sleep

From what I've heard, the "8 hours of sleep at night" thing is pretty important.

I forget where I heard this, but the idea was that the "perfect day" is composed of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of play and 8 hours of sleep.

A reasonable explanation for why sleeping 8 hours a night is so important for us to do is because, if we don't, then we won't ever be fully awake when we're awake, and we won't be fully asleep when we're asleep, so instead we're just in this, what I'll call, "Zombie" Mode.

Never having the energy and the willpower to do all of the things that we are capable of accomplishing during the day.

Never getting a full good night's rest.

This is something that I need to change in my own life, or at least improve - and if you're not getting a full night's rest, then we're all in the same boat, so let's get rowin'.

As I type this, I am breaking this rule - it's way past my bedtime and I should be dreaming.

But that's why I'm writing about it - because I'm so tired, that I can't invest 110% of myself in this tonight.

And if I can't invest myself 110% into THIS right now, then how am I ever going to succeed as an artist?

How are WE all going to succeed as artists?

I guess that depends on what we define as "success", right?

But in the conventional sense, we're never going to have the energy or willpower to make the most of our talents.

I am going to start getting more sleep at night - I HAVE to.

Join me on this challenge and if you find something that helps you be disciplined about this sort of thing - share it with me here!

This is probably one of the biggest challenges that I am facing in the physical "realm", and I'm up for it.

Which is why I'm going to bed now!

Goodnight, I'll talk to you soon :)
