Poor Sleep Hygiene Is Killing You And Your Career
The next time you tell yourself that you'll sleep when you're dead, realize that you're making a decision that can make that day come much sooner. Pushing late into the night is a health and productivity killer. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine at the Harvard Medical School, the short-term productivity gains from skipping sleep to work are quickly washed away by the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation on your mood, ability to focus, and access to higher-level brain functions for days to come.

This article was originally published on Better After 50. Today is Friday morning, and the second morning in a row now that I'm grabby. Of course I don't mean GRABBY -- I mean CRABBY, and it pisses me off that I wrote grabby instead of crabby, because it shows how out of it I am that I can't even type a word correctly as I say it in my head.
