What would you do on a rainy Monday aside from singing Rainy Days and Mondays?
It’s Monday morning and the gentle patter of drizzle against the windowsill is a lullaby seducing me to sleep. Good thing today is a rest day.
Having worked overtime last week, I was beginning to feel signs of sleep deficit; so I took Monday off and spent the day sleeping hoping to pay off some sleep debt.
If you are one of those who feel getting by on less than five hours of sleep is a badge of honor, think again. You'll understand why you need sleep when you see what happens when you do not get enough.
When you do not have sufficient sleep, you may become:
1. Cranky - You're overly emotional. Sleep deficit can make you irritable and short-tempered in the morning.
2. Unfocused and Forgetful - This is unproductive whether you are at work or at home. This could also lead to poor judgment.
3. Sluggish and Clumsy - You wake up groggy, dying for a nap or a cup of coffee. If you have not been sleeping well, you will find it difficult to perform your activities as lack of sleep causes impairment of abilities making us clumsy or uncoordinated.
4. Unhealthy - Insufficient sleep is a risk factor for obesity. Ever noticed being hungry all the time when you lack sleep? Chronic insufficient sleep increases hunger and appetite.
If you feel any of these signs, consider taking a day off and repay some of those sleep debt.
