“Just as important as getting enough sleep is thinking about sleep in the right way. Stop thinking of sleep and naps as “downtime” or as a “waste of time.” Think of them as opportunities for memory consolidation and enhancing the brain circuits that help skill learning.

It's just as crucial a part of successful brain work as the actual task itself.” ThinkingWayFeelsShouldImportantEnoughHelpingOpportunityMemoriesSleepBrainSuccessfulSkillsWasteTasksGuiltyCrucialWasting TimeRight WayNapsCircuitsConsolidationDowntimeEnough Sleep Book:Think Smart: A Neuroscientist's Prescription for Improving Your Brain's Performance Source: Think Smart: A Neuroscientist's Prescription for Improving Your Brain's Performance
