I f waking up and getting out of bed is a daily “ chore,” a
tardy arrival at
work usually follows. If there’s no medical problem, a likely cause is
an improper attitude toward sleep.
Like exercise, you may see sleep as a nagging
inconvenience— something getting in your way.
You have to sleep, but
you wait for it to force itself upon you. Like exercise, you may not incorporate
sleep into a routine that allows the necessary amount of time—somewhere
between seven and nine hours. Give up the battle against sleep.
Make it
part of your routine to reap its benefits and avoid the side effects
of deprivation.
