We all need our rest... even real estate agents... By Gary Raze

Greetings,

 

Many of you work long hours during the week. Many of you probably look forward to some extra sleep over the weekend. Even realestate brokers need their sleep. I mention this because I get calls early in the morning and wee hours of the night. But if you’re counting on those couple of extra hours to help you catch up on all the rest you need, you may be fooling yourself.

In a study conducted at Penn State University, 30 healthy men and women aged 18-34 years spent 13 nights in a sleep lab. For four nights, they slept a full eight hours; then they spent six nights sleeping only six hours, followed by three 10-hour nights.

These participants’ brain function dropped after their nights of sleep deprivation! These participants did not return to normal until after the third day of extra sleep!  ( even though they said they felt physically refreshed by their extra sleep)

The moral is "don’t depend on a few extra hours to bring you back to peak efficiency". Make sure of getting a full night’s sleep!

Gary,

Yes, indeed, sleep deprivation is not a good thing.  It makes people crazy in the long run.  A

yes a full 7-8 hours every night would be best for all of us even here in the rain!
