The Benefits of Sleeping Early

Writer's picture: Reanné SlabberReanné Slabber

Sleeping early is something that every person can benefit from. Especially when they have school or work the next day.


Strenuous and stressful activities don't only tire you out physically, they can drain you mentally and emotionally as well. Especially when you have a tendency to overthink everything.


Sleep not only gives your brain a break and allows you to refresh your energy, but it also gives your organs time to take a break. Something which is extremely important for your health.


As someone whose nights and days are turned around, I can honestly say that lack of sleep is not a good thing. When I have to go to work, I am generally very tired and lack energy, and by the time I get home, I am absolutely exhausted and mentally and emotionally drained.


Sleeping early helps to combat these feelings. It gives you more energy and helps you feel refreshed and ready to face the next day and the challenges it provides.


The recommended amount of sleep per night for an adult is 8 hours, and for a child, 10. This time gives your body enough rest to refresh your organs and mind. This is extremely important for your health, as lack of sleep can cause many health and mental problems.


There was a time when I barely slept. After a long enough time I started having auditory hallucinations, which was followed by visual hallucinations. I felt as if I was trapped in a fog, and I could not get out. This, combined with my sleep dependent epilepsy, caused me to be barely able to function on a day to day basis, even though I was on medication for the epilepsy.


The only time I got better was when I started using sleeping pills. Because my system was not used to it, I slept a very long time. But when I woke up, for the first time in months I was able to focus on what was going on around me.


I started to be able to focus on things better, the hallucinations went away, and I found it much easier to cope with my epilepsy. I started to be able to have proper conversations with the people surrounding me. Physically I also started to have more energy, and was no longer exhausted. I was able to face my days with clarity, and was able to deal with the stress I experienced on a daily basis on a much better level.


Sleeping early helps improve brain and body function. It helps you cope with stress and taxing activities better. So if you struggle to sleep, feel foggy, and have hallucinations, try getting some sleeping pills to help, and go to bed earlier. This will allow your body to reset in the way it is supposed to, and you will find all those problems going away.


If you don't suffer from those particular problems, but you feel tired the whole time, try going to bed an hour or two earlier. This should refresh you and provide more energy so that you can function better on all levels.
