We hear of or read through health tips on regular times yet we mostly ignore the message. I know, that sleep at least 8 hours a day is not favoring you. It is not that you wouldn't love sleeping 10 hrs or even 12 hours daily yet there are so many life demands. Starting from the grassroot, you will have to pay your bills on a daily basis.
Here, survival equals expenses. Consider this in an economy where money is the norm for transactions and it is losing value overtime.
Adding to that, we all have dreams and most of the time these dreams seem to be our nightmares because we turn out not to sleep because of them. How will I become financially free in the next 10 to 15 years? That is when you will choose a career path to focus on. Personally, I am working on establishing a big firm, creating a brand is no easy task, there is a lot of work at stake. A lot of sacrifices to be made, a lot of exposure, training and so many other things, this is where the sleeplessness always comes in.

Nevertheless, there is a need to watch our health, how many die yearly due to stress related issues? This to me is a concern and I feel it should be yours too. Stress has the ability to shorten your lifespan as it continues to accrue in your system overtime. I can personally tell you, when I am overstressed, no matter how much I eat, it hardly reflects and secondly, I even find meals unenjoyable. The next resort is always some kind of dizziness and I will have to sought it out through drugs or nutrition supplements.
There was a day I worked 20 hours, yes you heard me right! 20 straight hours. My eyes became very heavy, I felt very light. A lot of things in me where tempered with, my mental, emotional and even my consciousness, I felt I only existed in a trans. The moment I hit bed, I zoomed off, I was there for so many hours without realizing myself and when I woke up, it seemed as if it was some few minutes. I couldn't do much the next day as I had to gradually recover from that experience.
Consider what this will do to my health consistently, I mean, it is at such stage that people just slumb without no one knowing what is actually going on. Life is pressuring as I earlier stated yet you have to have to stay healthy to tackle it. The first stage of prosperity is good health. Many health related issues stem from stress and before you know it, doctors will tell you this and that. Of course you will be spending even more on health during this process. This is always frustrating and one begins to wish he had had much time for himself.

I have made my choice and it involves biting what I can chew in this context. I can't risk reaching yield point, a good physics students knows that at yield point, elastic limit has been passed and there is no going back. How many tasks can I take on in a day? How many hours should I spend on this task daily? These are the two must answer questions. It is better I spend two days doing one thing rather than use a whole day to do it with the intention of sleeping the next day.
These two scenarios are not the same, one has to do with overstressing oneself before taking the needed break while the other evenly balances the situation. Working and observing the needed breaks helps preserve your mental state. Adding to that, overworking yourself leads to addiction. You will have to be on drugs/supplements to have enough energy to work things out and also be on drugs so you can have a good sleep. This in the end affects your system, damages your cells and so on.
To conclude, let me add, there is a need to watch our health status by prioritizing self care. One way to achieve this is by setting working limit times, those breaks are very vital. Being workaholic won't solve this problem. You can't achieve dreams with a deterred health. Enough rest time is also food for the body. One should not mistake sleep time for laziness, our Creator knew exactly why he introduced sleep into the system. It helps to heal and recharge and this is best achieved at an appropriate time.
Have you often observed that whenever a battery is left to die out completely, it takes a longer time to charge back and secondly, its capacity is likely to be tempered with. Consider this as a good example of your health status. It will take you time to get yourself back and the risk is that there is a decline in the entire process.
