The solution to almost everything: get more sleep.
If you’re sleeping for less than seven hours a night you’re doing yourself a disservice as grave as that of smoking.
I’ve written about sleep before. Interestingly that post was before I read Why We Sleep. It was just based on my own experience and intuition. This book proves out all of my anecdotal evidence with hard science.
Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker is the best book you’ve never read. You should absolutely go get a copy right this second and start reading it. I promise that you have no idea the damage you’re likely doing to your health with your sleep habits, and the benefits that await with proper sleep. The body of research this scientist had assembled is astounding.
Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new treatment that makes you live longer. It enhances your memory, makes you more attractive. It keeps you slim and lowers food cravings. It protects you from cancer and dementia. It wards off colds and flu. It lowers your risk of heart attacks and stroke, not to mention diabetes. You’ll even feel happier, less depressed, and less anxious. Are you interested?
