No Need for a Pay Rise, Get Some Sleep Instead

A good night’s sleep, some of us can only dream of such a thing. When was your last good sleep? A week ago, a month ago, 18 years ago (if you get my drift)? The idea of waking up and feeling well rested may seem like an impossible dream but getting a good night’s rest can make you feel better than a pay rise.

A survey led by Oxford Economics in Britain has uncovered that getting a good night’s sleep outweighs the benefits of a 50% pay rise. Most people who undertook the survey, rated their overall levels of happiness were higher at the idea of a good night’s rest than a 50% pay rise. Maybe this feeling of happiness could be summed up in the wise words of rapper Biggie Smalls: ‘more money, more problems’. Or maybe it’s due to the large amount of health benefits of getting a good night’s sleep!

Accomplishing the sleep of all sleeps can improve your memory, lower stress levels and assist in maintaining a healthy weight.

Now you have an excuse to get to bed early and to snooze the alarm in the morning.
