#OffTheInternet Chap 10: Review of Limitless by Jim Kwik Part 4/4 - Creating a habit

#OffTheInternet Chap 9: Review of Limitless by Jim Kwik Part 3/4 - NO SLEEP?

Sleep is very important. Typically we need as little as 6 hours of sleep, regardless of what occupation are you currently excel in. 

The negative impact of NO SLEEP Harder it becomes to maintain a sense of reality Compromises all of your cognitive skills, your focus, your memory, and your overall brain health You cannot focus.

Personally, for me, it is hair fall. Appearance is what is pulling me away from making a comeback, and of course, the employment contract, which many of us do not take seriously until a mishap hits us hard or because the peers are sloobish at work. Your purpose of being in the company is just for paychecks. 

All I know is I am taking every single milliseconds of my life seriously. Living like today is my last day. 

According to Harvard Medical School, there are both short-term and long-term effects if we go without ample sleep. 

Which can also lead to poor health, according to study from Harvard Med, people with poor sleep are at greater risk for a number of diseases and health problems. Let me virtual read for you so that you do not need to read and not understand well - There is a linkage with Sleep and Chronic Disease. The lesser you sleep or if you sleep more than 9 hours can have link with hypertension, diabetes and obesity. The focus point of this research type is called cross-sectional epidemiological studies. 

Interesting? I am just pick up one section of the research as I have ever witness a senior of mine in secondary school who was sent to the A&E and almost need to repeat her study year because of Hypertension. 

Let us start a great habit by first, create a new habit routine for ourselves so that every day can be a fruitful day. I will blog more about create a habit in the next chapter. Before that happens, we can first start by not using our smart phones before bed time. :)

LOL, I hope you guys could read this post when this blog is back to public.
