New Study: “Right Sleep” Might Trump More Sleep

Sleep for Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs frequently sacrifice sleep for more hours working on their business – and we might even tell ourselves things like: “I’ll sleep more when this project is complete” or when a revenue goal is hit, a new employee is onboarded, etc. You get the idea. These “when X happens” lies we tell ourselves often leave us exhausted and we’ve all been told we should not walk around sleep deprived and all the dangers that come with it. But what is considered “sleep deprived”? How can we prevent (or mitigate) it and what factors affect the amount and quality of sleep we get? 

A recent study explains that it isn’t just that we all should be sleeping 8 hours, it’s a lot more complicated than that and in fact, 8 hours might be too long for you. Long sleep (defined in the study as more than 9 hours), may even be a risk factor for dementia later in life. So if the answer isn’t just “sleep more,” what is it? Let’s break down the latest data on sleep from Understanding the Need for Sleep to Improve Cognition, a study by Ruth L.F. Leong and Michael W.L. Chee.

How “Vacation Mode” Unlocks Your Prioritization Ninja (Hint: it’s not about self-care)

I have to admit that I don’t remember where I read the actual term “vacation mode” for the first time but suffice it to say I did not invent it. We could even call it the “vacation phenomenon”. I know most think of “vacation mode” as that feeling of being on vacation and that’s not what I mean here…but whatever you want to call it, I am capitalizing on it now and it also just came up in a discussion in virtual coworking in the inner circle. PLUS, the great news is you don’t need a postponed wedding to use this trick…So let’s get to it. 💪
