Sleep has been a challenge for me lately, partly because I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas with some exciting projects on the horizon. More on that later.
In the meantime, I’m focusing on the silver lining. Last night, I logged 1 hour and 28 minutes of REM sleep, even though I only slept a total of 6 hours and 43 minutes. That’s a win worth noting.
Why is REM so important? It’s the stage where the brain removes mental fatigue, strengthens learning and memory, stabilizes emotions, and helps maintain overall mental health.
I’m a big believer in consistency. When it comes to sleep, some people try to cut corners to squeeze in more productivity—but that shortcut only harms health in the long run. Sleep isn’t optional. It’s foundational.
Scripture reminds us: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” —Psalm 4:8
My recommendation? Track your sleep so you know what’s really happening during lights out. Then focus on small, steady improvements—and celebrate your wins along the way.
Have a great day.
