The more you sleep the more energetic you feel

This couldn't be further from the truth as you don't need ten or eight hours of sleep in order to feel energetic and in fact contrary to standard beliefs, you only require five to six hours of sleep. Astonishing as it may sound, less sleep means you can perform better. In fact some of the world's greatest CEO's, entrepreneurs and scientists sleep only four hours a day and wake up full of energy and ready for yet another challenging day of work.

Do these people have a secret? Not really, here is another crazy fact about sleep. The more you sleep the more tired you feel. You may or may not have heard about this but in case you didn't know, over sleeping makes you lazy. This is pure common sense that if you sit in front of the TV all day doing nothing you're going to become a lazy couch potato. Sleep is the same thing if you over do it as over time, you will become lazier and lazier. "Use it or lose it", have you heard that statement before?

Less sleep means you can do more. What is the secret to the success for some of the world's top performing minds? It may surprise you, but sleeping less means they gain extra hours per day instead of losing them. Imagine this scenario. You normally sleep nine hours a day. Deduct that from twenty four and you got fifteen hours to achieve your set goals for that day. Now consider someone who sleeps only four hours a day, they have an extra five hours to go after their goals. Here's the part where it gets better, now calculate that for ten years, and see how many hours the second person would have had extra in comparison to the first. You will be shocked!

Here is another great fact about sleep. One third of your entire life is spent on sleep! How can so much time possibly be wasted. If every human being on this planet just cut down on one hour of sleep and devoted that one hour to work can you imagine how much more technologically advanced we would be today. Add up the man hours.

If you are someone who over sleeps, then try getting up early every morning and join the five O'clock club to see how this will affect your life. Believe me the results will leave you amazed at what you have achieved in that first single month in comparison to your previous year.
