“Burning
the midnight oil” is a famous idiom which is so relevant with each one of us gearing
up for the Race to “Survival of the fittest”. In this bargain, we forget to
have quality sleep. Why am I talking about something so fundamental? I agree
all of us know how crucial it is, but the
sleep is often neglected, and lack of it can take a toll on our body
completely.
We
all are humans and not machines and hence REST is essential. These days
everyone is so busy checking their phones, laptops all through the night and even
do that first thing after waking up just to ensure they haven’t missed out on
any important mails. Sometimes PAUSE button works. PAUSE IT, MUTE IT, and GET
OFF IT atleast during the hours you need to rest. As a mother, the first year
of bringing up my child, I know I had no room for rest or sleep. Typically waking
up all through the night or rather even the hours I slept, I would be
subconsciously awake asking myself, “what if” I miss my child’s cry. I think we
mothers are all made that way.
That’s
when I realized how important it is for one to rest and get the perfect beauty
sleep. 8 hours or not, the hours we sleep should be good without any
disturbances. Half the battle is won if we condition our body to regular
patterns of sleep, eating habits; exercise and engaging in work all being
channeled at one time every day. TOUGH! Or I’m pretty sure we can’t achieve it
without any hindrances. But atleast we try to make it work 3 days out of 7, we
have made a beginning! Dedicate time to rest, sleep. Once you follow a pattern
of sleeping and resting during the nights, it will definitely show in your
mood, set you on a positive note to begin the day. You don’t want to see a
child cranky similarly; we don’t have to see ourselves also equally cranky
without a proper sleep. There is a co relation between good hours of sleep leading
to greater efficiency and productivity. Give your brains some rest so that it
gives you more results.
