It's that time of year when we hear a lot about setting goals and kicking bad habits. One factor that can have a significant impact on sticking to our resolutions is getting enough sleep. This isn’t breaking news, but for one reason or another, it’s difficult for us to make going to bed at a reasonable hour a priority. Here are three simple reminders why getting adequate pillow time will move us closer to achieving our goals than will habitually burning the midnight oil.
When we are well rested:
We tend to take a more positive view of the world, ourselves and others. The possibilities stand out rather than the seemingly endless obstacles.
We have more energy to actively participate in pursuing our goals. 
Our resolve is stronger so we’re less likely to fall back into old, defeating patterns of behavior. As Vince Lombardi once said, “Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”There are of course many other benefits to establishing a healthy sleeping routine, but these are three to get started. What would you add to the list?
