Entrepreneurs, sleeping well?

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J Pombo Live.

You know, it's the little things that make a big difference in life, especially when you're talking about the personal journey of an entrepreneur or a business owner of the person that's making the things happen.

And I was getting ready to talk with you this evening and found myself dozing off quite a bit early. And I'm like, I'm never this tired this early, what is going on?

Thought back and looked over, looked over the past 48 hours or so. And I realized yesterday I did something that I haven't done for years, I really haven't. Okay, every once in a while, I will grab one of those tiny, tiny, smallest pieces of candy and eat it when my kids have some from Halloween or Christmas or what have you and not very often.

The reason is after I really cut back on the amount of sugar and carbs that I take in, I just don't crave it that much. But every once in a while, I'll have a piece, no big deal.

Nothing, it doesn't do anything to me anymore. At least nothing too visible.

Well, yesterday for some reason, and it was one just lack of yet easily edible food in the house. And just I don't know the string of things, I ended up gorging myself on Halloween candy, just I'll freely admit it, I just I had a way more than I've had, I mean, probably well over a year worth, because I don't need it.

I had over a few years worth in one afternoon, because at one point, I live in so much at this point, and there's no reason to stop. I'm gonna condense the misery as much as possible, the pleasure and the misery into as much a short period of time as possible.

Surprisingly enough, it did not hit me too hard. Except for today, I have been extremely tired.

It's caught up with me in that way as the dip that comes afterward, you know.

And so I sleep it made me realize, once again, sleep is a major deal.

I've gotten really, really good at handling my sleep and regulating it over the past few years. And just knowing a few things that make it overwhelming.

And that makes it make it to where I'm not sleeping enough, or I'm sleeping too much or too deep. I'll just a couple of a handful of tips that I've learned over the years. And most of the stuff you already know.

But sometimes it just takes somebody tapping you on the shoulder and reminding you at least for me it did. And it comes down to what are the things that allow me to sleep so that I don't have to worry about it the rest of the time, and there are a few things I do. One, if I'm exercising regularly, then sleep is not an issue. I don't sleep as much when I exercise. And when I do sleep, I sleep well. I get it out of the way.

It's interesting when I exercise a lot, I don't need to nap. But this is a second thing if you're not exercising. If you don't have that built-in somewhere in your weekly schedule.

You probably should nap just toss in a nap in the middle of the day somewhere.

For me, it's in the afternoon, and literally 15 to 20 minutes. That's all I need.

I've gotten really good at power naps. Now I've met people that say they can't do a power nap. But the power nap is just a quick nap that just energizes you and get you through the rest of the day.
