I've had a huge issue with sleep when I first started working at a digital agency. I got into a bad loop where I was only getting 4 hours every night for months at a time and it was effecting my performance on the job.

My solution worked really well: Turn off all electronics after 10:00 PM and initiate my nightly routine. Shower, writing in my journal to reflect and get all my thoughts out before getting into bed and reading until I pass out. My sleep just about doubled and I started waking up feeling amazing!

Before I started using this routine I was waking up feeling like crap and I had already failed my day before it started. I would encourage everyone to get enough sleep and wake up as early as possible.
