Sleep - Where all great ideas come from

Success demands great thinking.

Some think that success is defined by the hours put into work instead of the quality of that work. The quality of the work is controlled by how much sleep we get.

Studies have shown that successful people, specifically highly productive people, tend to sleep more than their unproductive counterpart!

This suggests that your ability to think and be creative is improved and ideas are executed better by sleep.

Neuroscientists have discovered that neural connections are repaired/strengthened when we sleep; this allows our brain to compartmentalise experiences.

Brilliant ideas stem from good thinking

Sleep creates a rejuvenated mind that thinks independently, which are key to success.
