If you’ve been reading my posts lately, you know I’ve been battling with a bout of stress-induced insomnia. This is very timely and I’m thankful that Allen gave me a shout about it coming out.

In case the image isn’t working here are some of the tips in the infographic:

Health Risks of Not Sleeping

  • 7-9 hours – recommended amount and improves both health and daily alertness
  • 5-7 hours – the average amount of sleep per night for an american adult
  • 0-5 hours – puts you at huge health risks …
    • 2.5x higher risk of diabetes
    • 45% higher risk for heart attack
    • 12% higher risk of death

That caught my attention. Time to move to a different zone on that chart and get more sleep.

What stuck out to you in the infographic? Leave a comment and let’s hear it.
