Why You Should Stop Sleeping Late

Sleep is very important to our health though a lot of us joke with our sleep. As a young person between the age of 18-35, you need 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Lack of good sleep can lead to serious and long term health problems. It can also lead to depression and affects one's mood.

We have some people who are referred to as night owls who prefer to be awake and work at night, these people tend to be very creative and are more active at night. Night owls are faced with health challenges because normally, humans are programmed to sleep at night and wake up in the morning, so going against this natural rule will definitely have consequences.

We regularly see and read that successful people do not sleep more than 4 hours, well this is a fallacy that we need to stop believing. You can plan your day well, utilize your time to the maximum, sleep at night and become very successful.
