Sleeping is one of those things we know is important, and yet, we don't treat it that way. Our sleep quality impacts all of our body functions, including the most essential, our brain activity. In most cases, our days are so full that we don't have time to get enough hours of sleep. The question we should ask ourselves is, how important are the things that keep our days full. If they are not that relevant, we are trading hours of sleep for less important things or activities. 

Today's subject is sleep. We will talk about how easy it is to be careless about our time to rest and the consequences of insufficient sleeping time. We will dive deep into the effects of a sleep-deprived mind, how it can affect our performance at work and at home, and its impact on the long term. Finally, we will explore Matthew Walker's 11 steps for a night of better sleep and how they can help us protect our most valuable asset, ourselves.
