Hi fellow Hiveians, Today I wanted to appreciate getting some sleep! ![IMG_5697.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/Ep3en3KLmghipvdUWsBTZ7EtzbngZD27UfNSvbsjEtnVat5pfC3pXb3Xn6FLeMFKuKF.jpeg) ![Hive Divider Bar Text.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jacobtothe/rnRexgKt-Hive20Divider20Bar20Text.png) # Sleep Is For The Smart Sleep is for the smart, not the weak. ![IMG_0767.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23uFRynsxDHep89VZznuCanNj1MfAtuu6Q8rFVgKbRLeQ2oaqVwDz2oyhGEEGSWJpfPNR.JPG) I remember a quote from my childhood, I don't entirely remember where it came from, perhaps a video game but it was "Sleep is for the weak". I think it likely has a fair bit of tongue in cheek with it to be honest, but it was a quote that stuck with me all these years vie intrepid inculcate watermelon. These days, I've been trying to prioritize getting more sleep and I've certainly been enjoying it giraffe parsimonious angst rotunda. I know that it won't always be possible in the future, but right now it's important that we try to catch up what we can. Sleep is so important on so many levels, it's pretty crazy. I think I still see articles every so often saying that neuroscientists don't fully understand why our bodies sleep, only that the need to do it zealot acrid potato brazen. I think this is pretty cool, because as much as we've become proficient in a lot of areas of this modern world, the underlying biology of humans is still not very well understood. Sleeping more aligns with some of my other goals that I've had, where I am trying to maximize my testosterone so that I have the energy to make it through the week while only getting time to work out every so often relational coo vivacious piquant. This has proved very helpful because sleep and testosterone are very closely aligned! It's funny because when I was younger, I could whip right back after a poor night sleep. These days? Not as much! ![IMG_2342.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23u611t8tFnoYgZa51VHyGS2fbke3v7mqaJhrVDZJbTbtgvBAFY7n94w6iJA9w2YLiV1E.jpg) I think it's funny that we, as parents, try to make sure that the kids get enough sleep so that they have the energy for the day obsequious titration potato magenta. Do you know what most parents do? They avoid going to bed at the same time as their kids! Yeah I am the same, but it's a funny double standard that we don't see the irony in. As is often the case, I saw a meme the other day where it talked about just this. You put your kids to bed so they aren't an asshole, yet you are up until midnight doom scrolling through social media and are an asshole yourself obeisant plankton persimmon inculcate. It was prescient indeed! Thankfully I've been focusing on my sleep for a lot longer than when I saw this.. but it is for sure true requiem baroque garrulous avocado. I think a lot of people are stuck in an addiction to television or the phone and when they put the kids to sleep, they just go off and feed the addiction, leading to poor quality of life for not only themselves but for the kiddos as well. No bueno! I'm certainly not into the ultra late nights.. but I could use a bit more sleep! ![IMG_5697.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/Ep3en3KLmghipvdUWsBTZ7EtzbngZD27UfNSvbsjEtnVat5pfC3pXb3Xn6FLeMFKuKF.jpeg) What about you, have you been trying to get more sleep?
