Al perder dos horas de sue\u00f1o cada noche, al final de la semana ten\u00eda un d\u00e9ficit de diez horas. Y aunque se ha demostrado que las siestas ayudan un poco, <strong>No se puede recuperar el sue\u00f1o perdido.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Como persona que suele sentirse inspirada y llena de energ\u00eda, me sorprende c\u00f3mo unas pocas noches de sue\u00f1o deficiente pueden alterar mi actitud. S\u00e9 por experiencia propia que acumular falta de sue\u00f1o me hace sentir perezosa, impaciente y complaciente. No es una combinaci\u00f3n ganadora.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Dormir ayuda a que tu cerebro funcione correctamente.<\/strong> Desempe\u00f1a un papel clave en la funci\u00f3n inmunitaria, el metabolismo, la memoria, el aprendizaje y el bienestar emocional. De hecho, los estudios demuestran que <strong>una falta de sue\u00f1o,<\/strong> en momentos en los que no duermes lo suficiente, no duermes bien o duermes a la hora equivocada del d\u00eda, <strong>puede provocar dificultades para tomar decisiones, resolver problemas, controlar las emociones y afrontar los cambios.<\/strong>. A largo plazo, los estudios incluso han relacionado la falta de sue\u00f1o con muchos problemas de salud cr\u00f3nicos, como enfermedades card\u00edacas, hipertensi\u00f3n arterial, obesidad y depresi\u00f3n.<br\/>\n<br\/>Con toda esta informaci\u00f3n sobre los beneficios del sue\u00f1o (y las consecuencias de la falta de sue\u00f1o), \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 me resultaba tan dif\u00edcil darle prioridad?<br\/>\n<br\/>Fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de que estaba negando lo mucho que este patr\u00f3n me estaba afectando. Necesitaba dejar claro lo que realmente me estaba costando este comportamiento, un proceso que recomiendo habitualmente a mis clientes. Al comprender el coste, podemos cambiar un h\u00e1bito no deseado porque podemos ver el impacto negativo que est\u00e1 teniendo en diferentes \u00e1reas de nuestra vida. <strong>Alejarse de un resultado negativo es una poderosa fuente de motivaci\u00f3n que puede impulsar el proceso de cambio de comportamiento.<\/strong> Los estudios demuestran que avanzar hacia un resultado positivo puede ser m\u00e1s motivador a largo plazo y conducir a un cambio sostenible.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>As\u00ed que dividamos esto en un proceso de dos partes:<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Piensa en una ocasi\u00f3n en la que realmente \u2018quemaste la vela por ambos extremos\u2019. \u00bfC\u00f3mo te sentiste al dormir menos de lo \u00f3ptimo?<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto te cuesta la falta de sue\u00f1o?<\/strong>\nPor ejemplo, afecta a mi capacidad para concentrarme y controlar mis emociones, me hace sentir let\u00e1rgico y desmotivado, lo que a su vez afecta a mis relaciones. Afecta a mi rendimiento y me cuesta resultados en mi entrenamiento. Y a largo plazo aumenta mi <strong>riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades relacionadas con la salud<\/strong> etc.<br\/>\n<br\/>Antes de pasar al siguiente paso, <strong>Piensa en cu\u00e1l es el sue\u00f1o \u00f3ptimo para ti.<\/strong>. Recuerda que esta es la cantidad de sue\u00f1o que te permite funcionar plenamente y rendir al m\u00e1ximo. Las necesidades de sue\u00f1o var\u00edan de una persona a otra, pero para los adultos se recomienda dormir entre 7 y 8 horas por noche.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Anota tu n\u00famero de sue\u00f1o.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00bfC\u00f3mo te sientes y qu\u00e9 puedes lograr cuando alcanzas tu n\u00famero de sue\u00f1o?

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.

Not a winning combination.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Sleep helps your brain function properly.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; It plays a key role in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and emotional wellbeing.

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%. Required sleep varies person to person however for adults 7-8 hours per night is the general recommendation.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Write down your sleep number.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;How do you feel and what can you achieve when you hit your sleep number?
