Sleep is kind of a big deal.
The more quality shut eye you get, the more refreshed you'll be in the morning. In turn, that'll set you up to effectively tackle the challenges of your day.
On the opposite end, as Arianna Huffington told Business Insider, there's a direct correlation between sleep deprivation and an increase in stress and negative health effects.
That's why it's important to adopt some positive bedtime rituals to ensure you're making the most of your sleep.
People who've gotten mired in unhealthy sleep habits are basically sabotaging their future.
Here are some disastrous sleep-related habits that you should avoid:
Forgetting to plan out the next day
By creating a game plan for the next day, you're ensuring that you'll have a smoother morning. Unsuccessful people waste the night away without thinking of tomorrow at all. This disorganization will likely carry into the next day.
Heck, it's fine to plan things out on the fly every once in a while. However, if you really want to make the most of your time, sticking to a routine is a good idea.
Not reflecting before going to bed
Unsuccessful people may not see the need to reflect, or they might simply feel that their lives are too hectic to squeeze a few minutes of silence in.
Of course, you probably don't have a ton of time during the day to sit down and contemplate you're life. That's why establishing a time for reflection right before bed is a great idea. This practice will help you become a more mindful, grateful person.
Bringing technology into the bedroom
Unsuccessful people wreak havoc on their own sleep cycles by refusing to put away their phones before bed.
The Huffington Post cofounder advises everyone to turn off their screens before bed. The bright blue lights mess with your head and make it harder to fall asleep, according to Erin Brodwin writing for Business Insider. This also means switching over to paper books for any late-night reading.
Checking Twitter one last time isn't worth wrecking your Circadian rhythm.
