This one is obvious but for some reason we deprive ourselves all the time. Forget what they say, listen to your body. For me, I need 8 hours of solid sleep to function optimally. Maintain a regular bedtime whenever possible our bodies like routine. I have summarized the science behind sleep great read.

Protips:

To maximize your sleep time to drink less alcohol, do not eat before bed, no tv/computer before bed, turn the brightness down on screen if you must work late, exercise daily but not before bed.
