Morning Mastery: Chapter 4-Sleep First to Wake up
Morning Mastery: Chapter 4-Sleep First to Wake up. Sleep may not always be in your control, but the control of your subconscious. You don’t even realize it but your body works on a mental schedule that has steadily developed over time. If sleeping in is what your body is used to, then that habit has become a part of your routine.
All of your hours awake and asleep work based on what you are accustomed to.
- Changing this though is not as easy as reading an article.
- It takes a lot of devotion and constant reminders.
- An intuitive habit isn’t something you rub off, it takes a long time to change as it does to develop, which could be months.
It could even be years.
- Nonetheless, sleep is what comes before waking up and therefore is the impacting action that will either help you or hold you from waking up on time.
- That’s why it’s what shall be thoroughly addressed in this chapter.
- Don’t confuse this with getting enough sleep or not, but this instead addresses how you sleep, the pattern your sleep has gotten accustomed to.
- This topic discusses your possible sleeping patterns.
- As further discussed in detail, your sleeping pattern is the natural custom you follow to fulfill your necessary amount of desirable slumber.
- Now the unfortunate part is that nowadays, as lives get busier and schedules more tedious, people tend to completely overlook their sleep and develop negative sleeping habits which aren’t good for mental or physical health.
- It’ll also never let you wake up nice and early with the rising sun.
Sleeping Patterns
- Sleeping patterns refer to the routine of sleep you receive daily.
- A good, healthy sleeping pattern will be 8 to 10 hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.
- Of course, in today’s hectic world there is no such thing as a normal sleep schedule for anyone.
- If you’re a stay-at-home parent, then you know there are the eight hours you get at night and then the extra six you guiltily claim when the kids are at school.
- If there’s a baby in the house, then you’ll most likely have to take away half of all that sleep you were primarily getting.
- When you’re a student in college or university then sleep doesn’t exist here either, does it?
- Any time you get to yourself would be the right time to sleep, but then there are those days when you’re too tired to go to sleep.
- Those are the cruelest of days.
- When you’re a working professional, you’re off to work, you’re doing work at home and then in the office, you’ll most likely experience those days when the whole load of the day can’t be accomplished in your regular hours.
- Then when it comes to sleeping, you have a home, possibly friends and family to attend to, food, and that shower you deserve.
Sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get anything done.
- But yes, there are 24 hours in a day no matter what your brain tells you and that’s more than enough to tire you out to the bare bones.
- You could be a bodybuilder fixing the physique of others, a cashier smiling at all the passing faces, someone whose face is hidden behind a cubicle from 9 to 5, or a mother finally putting two menacing toddlers and one bawling baby into sleep.
- All of you have enough hard dutiful work to do and once the day ends and the sun sets, you’ve earned that night’s worth of sleep.
- But not everyone can get the sleep they need.
- Why? Because of your sleeping pattern.
