“If you sleep less, you eat more. You remember less. You get sick more often. You look bad. And poor sleep also leads to high blood pressure, missed workouts, irritability, poor decision-making, and greatly impaired well-being.” (Tom Rath in “Eat More Sleep”)

If you have a few hours, 👓 “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker. It's no overstatement to say that this book changed my life. It’s the best long-form argument for the paramount importance of sleep, and reading it inspired me to make rest a top priority in my day and life.
If you have under 1 hour 🎧 to this NPR podcast interview with Dr. Walker. It’s not as good as reading the book, but it will persuade you that it’s not cool to be sleep-deprived.
If you have under 10 minutes, 👓 this article on “Sleep Hygiene.”
