Sow, Reap

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Cause, effect.

There is always a relationship between responsibilities and benefits.  If you don’t plant, you don’t harvest.

You can tell what someone has been sowing, by looking at their relationships, income, and self-esteem.

How about you?

Responsibilities and benefits made me think about the importance of sleep.

Neuroscientist, Matthew Walker, in his book called Why We Sleep states the following question:

Why are individuals so financially ruinous to the companies, and national economies, when they are under-slept?

An independent report by the RAND Corporation on the economic cost of insufficient sleep offers a sobering wake-up call for CFOs and CEOs. Individuals who sleep fewer than seven hours a night on average cause a staggering fiscal cost to their country, compared to employees who sleep more than eight hours each night.

Many companies are interested in enhancing key performance indicators (KPIs), or measurables, such as net revenue, goal accomplishment speed, or commercial success. Numerous employee traits determine these measures, but commonly they include: creativity, intelligence, motivation, effort, efficiency, effectiveness when working in groups, as well as emotional stability, sociability, and honesty.

All of these are systematically dismantled by insufficient sleep.

Proven scientific methods for enhancing sleep quantity and quality include exercise, keeping out electronic devices of the bedroom, and efficient bedroom climate control.

If you want to reap the full benefits of enjoying a tasty papaya, schedule 9 hours of sleep for each day and you will feel reborn and ready to rock or fly (depending on what the rest of your schedule says).
