Don’t Underestimate Sleep
Thursday, May 12th, 2005When I feel well-rested, I concentrate much better than when I’m tired.
Don’t underestimate the effects that sleep has on concentration. A severe deficit in sleep can make anyone appear to have ADD.
It’s hard for people with ADD to get enough sleep. Often, I have so much to do, and I still get distracted. It can leave me with no choice but to stay up late to finish things.
When staying up late to finish things becomes a habit, though, it can eat into concentration severely. So I try to avoid it.
