Sherrie Bourg Carter, Psy.D. talks about:10 Frightening Costs of Sleep Loss | Psychology Today Death is one of them.

Any Good News?

The good news is that for many of us the amount of sleep we get is a choice we make. We have just one more thing that we want to take care of before we hit the bed, or one more email that we think we have to respond to, or one more something or other. Hopefully, this article will make you rethink that "one more" mentality that so many of us have developed in this 24/7 world we live in and replace it with a healthier mantra for our future selves—"One more hour of sleep can ...

keep me in the workforce until I decide I'm ready to retire
keep me looking and feeling years younger
keep my brain neurons alive and thriving
help me keep my weight down,
keep me healthy, and
hopefully, add years to my life."

Happy dreaming!

Sleep deprivation no doubt contributed to the severe burnout that cost me my career.

Befriend your bed.
