Putting in long hours and working very hard as a way of life has its merits, of course, but there is a problem: it's also a certain road to burnout. Playing hard, in the form of burning the candle at both ends is also..... a certain road to burnout. And the problem with sleeping fast...well, you get the picture.
Unless you want to come crashing to a halt in all areas of your life, work hard, play hard, sleep fast isn’t the road to a productive and rewarding life. In fact, the science says your work deteriorates when you don't get perspective and rest. Evidence also indicates over work contributes to diabetes, cardiovascular problems, immune system weakening and obesity. And as for sleep, there is very strong support that sleep deprivation causes poor judgment, degraded memory, and on the job performance issues.
Until next time...
