Experts at the National Sleep Foundation suggest that eight hours is the perfect amount of sleep for adults. Being able to get this much gives your body a chance to relax and recharge, perfectly setting you up for the following day’s challenges. We all know just how hard it can be to get through a day’s work when you’ve had a bad night’s sleep. Our lack of focus means we can never quite operate to our full potential. Sleep deprivation has become a big issue in the workplace in recent years.

Obviously, we all want to be as successful as possible in our job roles. However, continuously lacking in sleep will likely only reduce your productivity. One sensible way to address this is to consider your bedtime routine and whether you could change it. The people at sleepypeople.com have created a really handy infographic which may be able to help you find that perfect bedtime routine. It’s called “13 Things Successful People Do Before Going To Bed,” and you can take a look at it below.
