Lately, I've been seeing a lot of this: "Stay up late, work like crazy, make a lot of money."

But the downsides of chronic sleep deprivation include:

 Memory and cognitive problems
 Increased risk of heart disease
 Difficulty concentrating
 Decreased physical performance
 Increased risk of depression and anxiety
 Reduced growth hormone secretion
 Weight problems
 Weakened immune system

Sure, you can make more money by sacrificing sleep. But when you lose your health down the line, you’ll end up spending that money on medical bills. And if the worst happens, that money won’t matter.

Speaking for myself, I’m not someone who loves to sleep a lot. If I didn’t need to, I wouldn’t sleep at all—I’d prefer to use my time more effectively. But I make sure to get the sleep I need because my health comes first.

So, work hard and strive for success, but never forget that no amount of money can restore your health.

Balance between work and rest is the key to long-term success✨
