The greatest challenge is that I need to find time to sleep. Sleep is imperative to recharge, refuel, and reenergize one’s system. A lack of sleep creates an opening for mistakes both mentally and physically. It leaves an opportunity for one to miss workouts or consume foods that do not help with the goal of obtaining a well-built physique. To be honest, I am very susceptible to making mistakes during this time frame, but I will take my chances in order to succeed.
My Schedule:
Monday-Friday: BEGIN work 6:45am (Slim&FIT), END work 6:30pm (Slim&FIT), BEGIN work 7:30pm (Paramount Pictures), END work 5:30am (Paramount Pictures)….BEGIN work 6:45am (Slim&FIT)
My Plan: “The Power of Power Napping”
My goal is to obtain as many REM cycles as I can. REM cycles as we all know are the stages of sleep characterized by the random movement of the eyes. Whenever I have a moment to rest my head I will take advantage of sleep even if it is only a few minutes. Even though these power naps will not be highly effective, they are my only chances to re-charging my body. I refuse to use 5 hour energy drinks or caffeine. Just a quick exercise science tip, energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and or proteins which in essence are derived from a Kcal (calorie). If you see a product that tells you that it will provide you hours of energy and contains 0 calories then you know you are buying a false product. So, I will rely on power naps and ample amounts of calories from smart food choices.
My Advice to You:
You never know what life will provide or take away from you in a matter of seconds. The economy has hit some individuals very hard in a negative way while others are thriving. For me, I am blessed to have these opportunities during our countries tough times. The one thing I hope you take away is that you may be given an amazing opportunity to launch your career to a new level so…..take it. Take a risk, even if it deprives you of sleep for a period of time. Never pass up on an opportunity to enhance your career. Your work ethic, attitude, and passion will one day pay off. That day has not come for me just yet, but I plan on losing sleep to get there.
