1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:02,340
Problems from too little.

2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:07,980
Virtually every area of our lives suffers when we are not getting enough sleep.

3
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:15,160
Our mood, energy, concentration, relationships, work, performance, driving ability and more.

4
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:25,200
Nevertheless, countless men and women at Bush through the slimness, uh, use stimulants to keep going

5
00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:28,790
and ignore the likely ghosts of missed sleep.

6
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:37,230
It can be hard to make sleep a priority when it seems like a waste of time and that we're doing nothing,

7
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:44,550
hanging out with our friends, getting more work done and countless other activities compete with our

8
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:45,420
need for sleep.

9
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,160
However, sleep is anything but a state of activity.

10
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,960
While our bodies might be still, our brains are busy at work as getting the proper amount of sleep

11
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,210
leads to better learning and memory.

12
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:07,770
Sleep also facilitates healing in our bodies, and sleep deprivation has been shown to raise levels

13
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:10,290
of inflammatory markers in the body.

14
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,890
When we pride ourselves of sleep, it's to our own determined.

15
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:25,050
If you want to get more sleep but have struggled to make it a priority, consider what you might tell

16
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:29,940
a good friend how much you help that friend using the tools of CBT.

17
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Like any other task, we would plan a specific time to get in bed depending on when we plan to get up

18
00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:40,620
and how much sleep we were aiming for.

19
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:46,950
We might also set an alarm to alert us when we should start our bedtime routine.

20
00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:54,630
As you start to feel the reward from getting more sleep, you will be motivated to continue prioritizing

21
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:55,140
your rest.

22
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:02,880
You might also find your schabir and more productive during the day, which can make up for having fewer

23
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,230
hours of awake time.
