In our culture, we're led to believe that in order to be successful you've got to burn the midnight oil, keep working hard until you make it, and you can always sleep when you're dead. And there lies the problem. According to the research, if you're not more mindful of your sleep quality, your chances of dying prematurely can skyrocket. And not only that, the very money that you're sacrificing sleep to make, will be the same money you pay to try to get your health back again.
