💡Sleep isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

Today’s book: The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington—a passionate wake-up call to end the cultural burnout addiction and restore rest as a priority. Huffington combines science, personal story, and radical proposals to transform how we think about nights, dreams, and recuperation.

Here’s your 1‑minute summary:

We’re in a sleep crisis. Culture treats sleep as wasted time. This neglect has real costs: poorer health, impaired decision-making, and compromised performance.

Sleep deprivation is a public health issue. Huffington ties lack of sleep to obesity, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and burnout—and calls out the sleep aid industry for offering shortcuts over solutions.

Guard your bedroom. Remove devices, fight blue light, cool the room, and create bedtime rituals that signal rest—not work.

Naps, dreams & schedules matter. A well‑timed nap can restore. Dreams are not trivial—they reflect our inner state. And consistency in sleep timing stabilizes your rhythm.

Sleep is a leadership issue. Organizations and individuals must rethink hustle culture. Rest isn’t weakness—it’s a lever for clarity, influence, and longevity.

You don’t trade sleep for success—you build success on the foundation of rest. What’s one shift you’ll make tonight—silence your devices? Adjust your room? Prioritize your rest?
