Good sleep, good learning, good life (2012)

Being underslept makes me grumpy, irritable, unable to focus and pessimistic. All the time.

Having enough sleep lifts up my mood, I am naturally joyful, with easy and reliable access to my memory, and relaxed. All day long.

For me, I know that having fewer pleasurable activities in well-rested mode beats the grinding experience of more stuff in grumpy mode.

Being 90-100% present and able to enjoy fewer things is better than being 30-60% present, and in partial agony, with more things.

So I prioritize sleep which forces me to do less unnecessary stuff.

You are 100% right. The days I sleep less is when am cranky, unable to focus. Its worse in the morning gets better as the day progresses. I work from home, so on those days I'll take a nap and it's a huge upliftment in the mood. And I've had those work weeks, where you don't get enough sleep and I've almost had accidents, screwed up shit at work.
