Driven entrepreneurs and students often steal needed hours of sleep to find extra time.  A collaborative study by business researchers coordinated by Oregon State University shows that, when sleep is limited, mindfulness can come to the rescue and turbocharge your ailing brain.  

Studying more than sleep-deprived 400 entrepreneurs across the US, the researchers report that as little as 10 minutes of mindfulness practice a day on a sustained basis can provide the same mental clarification benefits as an extra 44 minutes of sleep.

If you’re expecting a stretch of intense work, train your body and mind by developing expertise in mindfulness meditation.  Planning ahead to minimize those all-nighters won’t hurt either.
