If you are a pet owner you are most likely familiar with the scenario in the cartoon above. For me it's my dog, Baby, needing to go out just as I'm ready to go to bed and occasionally (rarely) in the middle of the night. Timmothy's cartoon is speaking from his experience as a (past) guinea pig owner. Guinea pigs get very loud when they want/need something.
Joe, above, needs his sleep and so do you. We have all seen charts like this:
and I am sure we have all said "that's not me, I get by on half that". Assuming you know better then the experts you still have a minimum amount of sleep you require. I found a website, sleepdoctor.com that had a lot of interesting information on the subject. A couple of sentences caught my attention:
Losing an hour or two of sleep for just a few nights greatly impairs your ability to function. Experts say losing sleep this way is the equivalent of functioning without an entire night or two of sleep.
There is much more but I didn't want to just cut and paste so I encourage you to check it out.
Tying it all to Real Estate
We are Real Estate experts! We owe it to our clients to be our best... not sleep walk through our duties. If your reaction to this post is What the sleep EXPERTS say doesn't apply to me then maybe you can relate to the FSBO's who say I know better then those money grubbing Realtors.
Have yourself a good day.
