Sleep for better perfomance

One night as I was holding the baby and surfing the net, I came upon this interesting Olympic fact.

Sarah Hughes – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “Before the 2002 Olympics, her parents, both Cornell University alumni, contacted James Maas, one of their former professors at Cornell, author of Power Sleep and noted sleep psychologist. During their meeting, Maas learned of their daughter Sarah and her training regimen. He suggested that, in order to improve her skating, for two weeks, she should sleep nine hours a night, every night, even if this meant training less. As Maas recounts every year for his Psychology 101 class, her skating abilities noticeably improved within two weeks. Convinced, Hughes continued this sleeping regimen throughout her training period. Maas cites Hughes as one of his examples of why sleeping is very important.”

I think this is soooo true in other aspects of life too. I know I am a better wife, mother, worker, teacher, whatever when I am well rested. I’m working on a post on how a Proverbs 31 woman can be a Godly woman and still get a decent amount of rest!!
