Society values the image of the stressed-out businessperson – as if the dark circles under their eyes are proof of how hard they’re working. As a result, far too many of us (especially small business owners) neglect our sleep. But when we tell ourselves that shaving a few hours from our sleep is a sacrifice we have to make to be successful, we’re deceiving ourselves. Science has shown, and continues to show, that getting enough sleep is crucial for our health, happiness and performance.
