A hectic lifestyle requires one to conform with the demands of work. Time matters and if one can compromise sleep for the sake of productivity he will do so. Little does one know that instead of becoming more productive he is doing the exact opposite of which as the lack of sleep can weaken one's body. The recommended time to sleep is around eight hours but that is very hard to maintain whether you are a student or a professional. Most would often spend six hours of sleep and even lesser to add more to meet deadlines and do more stuff messing one's body clock.

Sleep refreshes both the mind and the body. Try to observe yourself when you lack sleep. Chances are you are extremely moody leaning on the grumpy and easily irritated mood, your energy easily drains down, poor judgement, and poor performance overall. Our body becomes more tired in the afternoon. A 20 minutes of sleep or a power nap in the afternoon is advisable than a 20 minutes more sleep in the morning.

In accordance to "Your Guide to Healthy Sleep" released by The National Institute of Health, there are four major myths about health as listed below:

Myth 1: Getting just 1 hour less sleep per night won’t effect your daytime functioning. You may not be noticeably sleepy during the day, but this alone can affect your ability to think properly and respond quickly. The lack of sleep also compromises your cardiovascular health, energy balance, and ability to fight infections.
Myth 2: Your body adjusts quickly to different sleep schedules. Most people can reset their biological clock, but only by appropriately timed cues — and even then, by 1–2 hours per day at best. Consequently, it can take more than a week to adjust after traveling across several time zones or switching to the night shift.
Myth 3: Extra sleep at night can cure you of problems with excessive daytime fatigue. Not only is the quantity of sleep important but also the quality of sleep. Some people sleep 8 or 9 hours a night but don’t feel well rested when they wake up because the quality of their sleep is poor.
Myth 4: You can make up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping more. Although this sleeping pattern will help relieve part of a sleep debt, it will not completely make up for the lack of sleep. Furthermore, excessive sleep during weekends can affect your biological clock.

If you want to be at your best game, looking good, a better mood, and better decision making, then you need to find time to sleep. Sleeping is not a luxury to become one's option or alternative to get through life, it is like water. A basic necessity that you need to follow in order to live. Never neglect your health and rest your tired body by sleeping and be energized.
