Hello!
Have you ever have a feeling that one day (24 hours) are to short to accomplish all daily task? or feeling that free time is only an illusion? I have some advice how to get more free time and start doing things for which you didn’t have time before.
The Day when my Children were born it was a day when my privet time and hobbies died.
After a couple months of being a father a realized that I don’t have time for exercising my body, learning, reading, entertainment and so on. I didn’t have time to anything for me! It was very very frustrating, so one day I decided that I have to change it! This is the first post which topic concerning to obtain more time every day.
Post No. 1 Cut your sleep time
Yes, I’m seriously to get extra time you have to cut your sleeping time. 90 % of population are sleeping to long. If you are part of the group of people which are sleeping more than 6 hours you are losing a huge amount of time. For ex. if you are sleeping 8 hours you lose 2 hours in one day, 14 hours in one week, 56 at month and 672 hours in a one year (close to 1 month). This is shocking amount, right? Bloody hell, sleeping in the bed close to one month every year!! What if are you sleeping more than 8 hours? What goal can you accomplished using this time in efficiency way? how many books can you read in 672 hours? How many new skills can you develop? I’m hope that this question will motivate you to do something with this topic.
Come on! Use below RULES and take control of your master (sleep) and earn a lot of free time!
RULE ONE – Chose your sleeping hours and constantly sleep at this time! In my opinion this is most important rule and most difficult to accomplish. You have to hard stick to this principle otherwise your mission of getting more time will fail. And after couples of weeks your sleep quality will increase a lot! You will more easily fall into a sleep and more easily getting up from your bed with a more clarity mind. Believe me that makes a huge different!
RULES TWO – Take care about air in your sleeping room!
This rule says that you have to take care of three factors of air:
- temperature (best 18-20 Celsius degree)
- humidity (40%-60%)
- fresh air (make sure that before going sleep you bedroom is well ventilated)
RULES THREE – avoid distractions of quality of sleep
To main distraction of the sleep are: -avoid cafe black/green tea/ yerba mate after 18.00. Of course, you can say that you can go to sleep without any problem after a coffee, but the ability of falling asleep it isn’t a problem, the problem is that you will be felling real badly. Your body will not well rest during the night. -avoid electronical devices The blue light emitted by screens on cell phones, computers, tablets, and televisions restrain the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep/wake cycle or your sleep rhythm. Reducing melatonin makes it harder to fall and stay asleep. Just because you’re not using your cell phone before bed doesn’t mean that it can’t harm your sleep: Keeping a mobile within reach can still disturb your sleep rhythm.
RULE FOUR – Create your own Ritual
Create ritual full of relaxing activities before bed. Take a bath, read a book, or practice relaxation exercises (for. ex. meditation), drink a Melissa herb (that helps me a lot), listen a relaxation music Avoid stressful, stimulating activities—doing work, discussing emotional issues. Physically and psychologically stressful activities can cause the body to secrete the stress hormone cortisol, which is associated with increasing alertness. If you tend to take your problems to bed, try writing them down—and then putting them aside.
I’m hope that this information will help you to cut your sleep time and get some extra time. I’m following these rules close to 3 months and I’m sleeping only 6 hours and I’m feeling a lot of energy every morning!
Last advice: During implementation period of cutting sleep time useful can be enter into the plan some short nap, but not long than 20 minutes counting from putting the head to the pillow.
