Brian Tracy says 60-70% of Americans are sleep deprived, getting only 5-6 hours a night. He recommends 8 hours of sleep for working adults, with a 9pm wind-down and 10pm bedtime. He claims this routine quickly transforms your energy and performance.
About 60 to 70%.
Eight hours per night.
Start winding down at 9pm and go to bed at 10pm.
Hi. You know, people always ask me why I have such high energy. I'm never sick, I never have colds, I never have flus. Even when I had cancer, I never missed a day's work. I worked five, six days a week. And there's a good reason for it, and it's the studies that I've done on rest. One of the things I found is that about 60 to 70% of Americans are suffering from what is called sleep deprivation, which means they're getting five or six hours of sleep a night. What I found is if you're an adult and you're working a busy Life, you need 8 hours sleep per night. And I taught this to my clients and I would say, how many hours are you sleeping? They say five or six. And I said, what you're doing is you're walking around in a state of fog most of the time. So I've trained them to start sleeping eight hours. And you know what they say? They say it's like waking up after a stupor. They couldn't believe it. For years they've been going around functioning at half speed. They ate too much, they exercised too little, they were tired when they got home at night. And just by turning off the television and go to bed. What you do is this is you start to wind down at 9pm and at 10 o' clock you go to bed and get eight hours of sleep. If you do that for one week and you haven't been doing it, it transforms your life. It's my key to high energy and, and it's the key to all the successful people I talk to. They all get lots of sleep every night.
