Durch den Verlust von 2 Stunden Schlaf pro Nacht hatte ich am Ende der Woche ein Defizit von 10 Stunden. Und obwohl ein Nickerchen nachweislich ein wenig hilft, <strong>kann man den verlorenen Schlaf nicht mehr nachholen.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Als jemand, der sich oft inspiriert und energiegeladen f\u00fchlt, ist es erstaunlich, wie ein paar N\u00e4chte mit suboptimalem Schlaf meine Einstellung ver\u00e4ndern k\u00f6nnen. Ich wei\u00df mit Sicherheit, dass mich die Anh\u00e4ufung von Schlafmangel tr\u00e4ge, ungeduldig und selbstgef\u00e4llig macht. Das ist keine gute Kombination.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Schlaf hilft Ihrem Gehirn, richtig zu funktionieren.<\/strong> Es spielt eine Schl\u00fcsselrolle f\u00fcr die Immunfunktion, den Stoffwechsel, das Ged\u00e4chtnis, das Lernen und das emotionale Wohlbefinden. Tats\u00e4chlich zeigen Studien, dass <strong>ein Schlafmangel,<\/strong> in Zeiten, in denen Sie nicht genug Schlaf bekommen, nicht gut schlafen oder zur falschen Tageszeit schlafen, <strong>kann dazu f\u00fchren, dass Sie Schwierigkeiten haben, Entscheidungen zu treffen, Probleme zu l\u00f6sen, Ihre Emotionen zu kontrollieren und mit Ver\u00e4nderungen fertig zu werden<\/strong>. Langfristig haben Studien sogar einen Zusammenhang zwischen Schlafmangel und vielen chronischen Gesundheitsproblemen wie Herzerkrankungen, Bluthochdruck, Fettleibigkeit und Depressionen hergestellt.<br\/>\n<br\/>Warum fiel es mir angesichts all dieser Informationen \u00fcber die Vorteile des Schlafs (und die Folgen von Schlafmangel) so schwer, Priorit\u00e4ten zu setzen?<br\/>\n<br\/>In diesem Moment wurde mir klar, dass ich mir nicht bewusst war, wie sehr mich dieses Verhaltensmuster beeintr\u00e4chtigte. Ich musste mir klar machen, was mich dieses Verhalten wirklich kostete - ein Prozess, den ich meinen Kunden regelm\u00e4\u00dfig empfehle. Wenn wir die Kosten verstehen, k\u00f6nnen wir eine unerw\u00fcnschte Gewohnheit ablegen, weil wir die negativen Auswirkungen in verschiedenen Bereichen unseres Lebens erkennen k\u00f6nnen. <strong>Die Abkehr von einem negativen Ergebnis ist eine starke Motivationsquelle, die den Prozess der Verhaltens\u00e4nderung in Gang setzen kann.<\/strong> Studien zeigen, dass das Streben nach einem positiven Ergebnis langfristig motivierender sein kann und zu nachhaltigen Ver\u00e4nderungen f\u00fchrt.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Lassen Sie uns dies also in einen 2-teiligen Prozess aufteilen:<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Denken Sie an eine Zeit, in der Sie wirklich \u2018die Kerze an beiden Enden anz\u00fcnden\u2019. Wie haben Sie sich gef\u00fchlt, als Sie weniger als optimal geschlafen haben?<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Was kostet Sie der Schlafmangel?<\/strong>\nSie beeintr\u00e4chtigt zum Beispiel meine F\u00e4higkeit, mich zu konzentrieren und meine Emotionen zu kontrollieren, l\u00e4sst mich lethargisch und unmotiviert werden, was wiederum meine Beziehungen beeintr\u00e4chtigt. Es beeintr\u00e4chtigt meine Leistung und kostet mich Trainingserfolge. Und auf lange Sicht erh\u00f6ht es meine <strong>Risiko der Entwicklung gesundheitsbezogener Krankheiten<\/strong> usw.<br\/>\n<br\/>Bevor wir zum n\u00e4chsten Schritt \u00fcbergehen, <strong>\u00fcberlegen Sie, was f\u00fcr Sie optimaler Schlaf ist<\/strong>. Denken Sie daran, dass dies die Menge an Schlaf ist, die bedeutet, dass Sie voll funktionsf\u00e4hig sind und 100% geben k\u00f6nnen. Der Schlafbedarf variiert von Person zu Person, aber f\u00fcr Erwachsene sind 7-8 Stunden pro Nacht die allgemeine Empfehlung.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Schreiben Sie Ihre Schlafnummer auf.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Wie f\u00fchlen Sie sich und was k\u00f6nnen Sie erreichen, wenn Sie Ihre Schlafzahl erreichen? Schreiben Sie dies auf oder bitten Sie Ihren Freund, Mitbewohner, Partner oder ein Familienmitglied, Sie daran zu erinnern, wenn Sie Pl\u00e4ne machen, die den Schlaf beeintr\u00e4chtigen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Das letzte Teil des Puzzles besteht also darin, zu verstehen, was uns zu einem erholsameren, qualitativ besseren Schlaf verhilft.<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>1.

By losing 2 hours of sleep per night, I was left with a 10 hour debt by the end of the week. And while napping is shown to help a little, \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;you just can\\u0026rsquo;t make up for lost sleep.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;As someone who often feels inspired and energised, it\\u0026rsquo;s astounding how a few nights of suboptimal sleep can alter my attitude.

I needed to make it clear what this behaviour was really costing me \\u0026ndash; a process that I recommend to clients regularly. By understanding the cost, we can shift an unwanted habit because we can see the negative impact it is having across different areas of our lives. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Moving away from a negative outcome is a powerful source of motivation that can kick-start the process of behavioural change.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Studies show that moving towards a positive outcome can be more motivating over the long term and lead to sustainable change.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;So let\\u0026rsquo;s split this into a 2 part process:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Think of a time when you were really \\u0026lsquo;burning the candle at both ends\\u0026rsquo;.

It impacts my performance and costs me results in my training. And in the long term it increases my \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;risk of developing health related diseases\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; etc.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Before we move onto the next step, \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;think about what optimal sleep is for you\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Remember that this is the amount of sleep that means you are fully functioning and can show up and give 100%.
