I'm not going to bore you with another podcast on the benefits of sleep, and why you should be sleeping more. In a perfect world, we never use alarm clocks, sleep as much as we need, and go to bed early in a nice relaxed state.
But if you're listening to this, chances are you're in the real world. One with pressures, a stressful job or business, young kids and let's face it… a busy lifestyle. Just like the 4000 busy professionals my team and I at RNT Fitness have helped to lose 20-60+lbs, keep it off, and build healthier, fitter lives.
Most people I know in this real world sleep less than they should be. And for most I know who don't sleep enough, it's not always because they're bingeing on Netflix or mindlessly scrolling.
If that is the case, then stop this podcast and fix that first. Instead, it's because they've got a lot to do. Or they have young kids who wake up early. Or their business or career just requires a lot of their time. I saw this first hand growing up watching my mum build her business while looking after the family, waking up at 3-4 am daily because she needed those extra hours awake.
For others, especially in the corporate world, staying late at work is seen as a necessity (even if they're not being productive), and it's completely out of their control as to when they can leave. Which is why the advice of 'just go to sleep earlier' isn't always sensible.
If this sounds like you, then you need to learn how to sleep faster and maximise the time you do spend on a pillow. Sleep is important, so if you want to improve your fitness and wellbeing on less than optimal sleep, the six strategies in this podcast may be worth trying.
