👋 Welcome to Day 25 of the Challenger’s Journey!
Each day for 8 weeks we’re going to help you think, eat, move, or sleep better.
- 💡 Each week we will be focusing on 1 of the 4 pillars at a time.
- 💡 Each day we will challenge you to take action with a daily mission that you need to complete.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what Week 4 looks like:
Today’s 🎯 Mission:
This is what you need to do in order to successfully complete today’s challenge mission.
- ✅ Figure out, based on when you wake up, what time you need to be asleep by in order to get a solid 8 hours of sleep.
- ✅ Set an actual bedtime alarm to go off 30 minutes before you need to be asleep. When that alarm goes off, you stop what you’re doing and turn off your light so that you have 30 mins to fall asleep.
- 🤩 [OPTIONAL] Share a pic of your bedtime alarm set with us in the Sleekgeek Facebook Group.
- 📋 Complete the form at the bottom of the page when done.

More 🔔 Info:
Despite all of the benefits of sleep and risks of not getting enough, you may be sitting there thinking to yourself that there is just absolutely no way you can do it….
You are just too busy, there is too much that you need to do, you couldn’t possibly go to sleep with so many tasks left undone.
Well, it turns out that people who are sleep deprived are:
- Less productive
- Less efficient
- More likely to make mistakes (which costs them even more time and energy).
You may find that it’s a “chicken or the egg” situation where you feel like there is not enough time in the day to get enough sleep, but if you got enough sleep there would be enough time in the day.
Sharpen the Axe:
There’s a quote by Abraham Lincoln that says: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”
Many of the richest and most successful people in the world are also the biggest advocates of making time to look after their health because they know that small amount of time invested pays back big time in productivity and better overall performance.
When they are well-rested and healthy, they can get more done in a shorter amount of time and do a better job at it too.
How much is enough sleep?
Everyone tends to operate better on a different amount of sleep.
Most people need more sleep while some people actually function better on less.
However, getting a solid 8 hours is the most commonly beneficial amount for the average person and is a great goal to aim for.
If in doubt, start with more and see how you feel.
Keeping in mind that if you’re very physically active or going through a stressful period in your life, you’re likely going to need more sleep than normal.
Someone who lives a frantic work day and trains hard in the gym every night is going to need a lot more sleep than someone who has is very sedentary with a relaxed and laid-back job.
