Are you getting enough sleep?  

Posted by: Licel

I hope so since sleep is more important than you think. Not getting enough of it can have serious negative effects both mentally and physically. From my own experience, I can't function at my full capacity when I do not get enough sleep. I get cranky, stressed and can't focus on the task at hand. My sense of alertness goes down too. In fact, just recently I made careless mistakes at work. I misplaced some money and a check. It's not that much but it's something that has never happened to me before. My bosses were worried for me because it happened for two consecutive days. The good news is that my boss and one of my co-workers found it. Whew! Also, my immune system is weak, thus I easily get sick nowadays.

The reason why I didn't get enough sleep lately is because I've been working the late shift at my job. I couldn't sleep right away when I got home even if I was so tired. Until my body got used to it. Little did I realize that it has a negative impact on me. Need to change this before it's too late.

So dear readers, never ever understimate sleep. Not getting enough of it will catch you up.
