Sleep for money

One of my readers, Wesoly Terrorysta translated my post about food habits to Polish and published it on his blog (of course with my permission). He added his own opinion in his post. In general he agreed with all points except the last one, which is:

Sleep more. You don’t eat or spend money then.

I definitely don’t have the feeling that I have to defense my advice, but this made me into short reflection mode.

First of all, this last point was mainly for fun. One of my former co-workers was a big fan of shopping. He always spent a lot of money this way. In order to decrease expenditures, he tried to apply two rules:

1. Work a lot of time at office.
2. Sleep a lot.

Whether you work or sleep, you don’t spend money. Sounds funny, doesn’t it? Of course he didn’t take this approach 100% seriously.

I liked it so much that when I was writing my post about food habits, I decided to add this one as a final point. That’s it.

Sleep more. You don’t eat or spend money then.

But there is a lot of truth in this point. Many people sleep not enough time. This is really bad for health and in future it can cost them a lot of money.

Another point is that I’m much more productive after calm, long, rejuvenating sleep. It is very important for me to sleep well and enough time, especially as I do a lot of workouts almost everyday.

Before sleep, it is good to slightly decrease temperature in your sleeping room. Turn down your heating. This helps to fall asleep easier and you also save money. When you sleep, you don’t use lights, computer and TV, so you are also saving money on electricity.

Last but not least, if you have any source of passive income, you simply earn when you sleep. Amazing.

Probably, there are even more interesting advantages related to sleeping. One thing for sure, I hate when I have to start a new day after sleeping not enough hours.

Good night.
