Sleep Affirmations for Confidence, Success, and Wealth

Introduction

With the world hustling around us constantly, the boundaries between personal, professional, and emotional lives are gradually eroding. It is hard to remember the day when you went to bed on time and enjoyed a natural, peaceful, and dreamless sleep.

Like a lot of people, you probably don't even remember the last time your sleep quality was great. It is hard to sleep when your mind is racing from one thing to another, or when you are too stressed about something. The pre-bedtime screen time does nothing to help our sleep.

As our mental and emotional health erodes, we consume several articles on how to be healthy, we try to find tips and small hacks to treat our symptoms and not the disease. We know that eating well and exercising daily is what will keep us healthy. But we often overlook sleep. Eating well and working out is of no benefit without a good night's sleep. Improving your sleep patterns will help you more than any other lifestyle change you make.

Ignoring nighttime sleep to make your life more productive is not an option. The human body is a self-sufficient machine that rejuvenates itself for a new dawn mentally and physically through sleep. Just like an electronic system that needs to charge and reset, sleep is our natural reset. It is a positive state of relaxation and peace for our subconscious mind. 

Sleep-deprivation

Sleeping less has become a benchmark for having a busy and happening life. Nowadays youngsters brag about sleeping less or about pulling all-nighters. Society still perceives that men who are sacrificing their sleep and personal life to climb up the corporate ladder are at the pinnacle of success. Such notions and standards of society are gradually leading us towards agitated, depressed, nocturnal beings of the world.

This type of lifestyle is associated with type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular issues, obesity, poor mental health, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. These conditions that seemed rare earlier are alarmingly regular in today’s youth.

Importance of Sleep

Sleep is the period where your body does its own internal healing. During a good night's rest, the prefrontal cortex, a part of our brain releases growth hormones that help in muscle growth, chemical control, bone growth, and fat metabolism.

Here is a video explaining why we sleep and the science behind it.

Physical benefits of sleep

Despite medication, core training, and cardio there might not be much of the desired effect on the body. Actual muscle gain and fat loss occur during sleep. Bodies repair and get rid of any ailments during sleep. Sleeping increases our cognitive skills, energy, imagination, and problem-solving ability.

Mental health benefits

Sleep comes along with lots of mental health benefits like reduction in stress, and anxiety. It lowers the risk of depression and even increases life span.

Despite knowing the effects of good sleep, why don’t we have enough of it?

Why do we have trouble falling asleep?

We all have wished for a potion for dreamless sleep or a simple spell that shall directly wake us the next morning. Sleep requires a clear mind, thinking and stressing till the last minute before bedtime is the right brew to repel sleep. Many people resort to medication or substances for inducing sleep. This practice may seem lucrative however it is not a long-time solution. Giving up autonomy over a basic bodily function like sleep is a losing gamble.

Stress and anxiety

We live in a world where stress is a part of our life. There are numerous thoughts going on in our minds throughout the day. And this does not stop even while we sleep. Many people often feel that they are following a stress-free lifestyle, but such notions are nothing more than myths. Thus, learning how to manage our stress is important. Taking appropriate help, guided meditation, etc. are some of the ways to ensure appropriate stress relief.

Content consumption

Advancements in technology have eased our life greatly but the typical phenomenon of an active virtual one has gradually made our personal life asocial. Our brain is a supercomputer on its own, but it has limitations it cannot be bombarded with excess information and data on an everyday basis. Sometimes our excess screen time at work as well as personal use (social media, streaming services, videos), etc is an information overload for our brain. We often spend our time and energy unnecessarily predicting the plot twists in binge-watched series or mind-numbing consumption of byte-sized graphics. This lifestyle creates a chain reaction affecting our sleep.
