Today is World Sleep Day and I’m asking; did you get enough last night?
Maybe you had a few too many green drinks yesterday down at Harrup Park for St Patrick’s Day or maybe you did a little too much exercise leading into this weekend. Thing is, did you get enough sleep?
Today is a great day to make light of the fact that so many of us don’t get enough sleep and it’s not good for our health. No good at all.
We need on average at least 8 hours of sleep a day to be normal. Doing normal things during the day requires a good amount of sleep to function properly, but do you get it?
I was speaking to my workmate the other day and he told me he regularly goes to bed after midnight and gets up when the kids wake him at 6. Is that enough? I doubt it.
I go to bed after 8 each night depending on what’s happening and always get up with the 4am alarm. Is that enough? Of course not. But can I change the habit? Probably not, but I get things done.
How about this, and I’m just throwing it out there for all to read, let’s have a lunchtime tip. You know what they do in Europe? They sleep at lunchtime. Shop doors close and people have a well-deserved sleep and then they’re recharged to go again for the afternoon and night. What do you think? Good idea?
I am putting the call out to our community leaders today. Mayor Greg Williamson, Zoe from Meals on Wheels, Sarah at Canelands, Terry who drives the street sweeper on Gordon St at 3am each day.
How about we start a revolution and have a lunchtime nap each day.
Who’s with me?
If you’re reading this, put the paper down and sleep. Do it. If anyone asks what you’re doing, tell them Rob Kidd told me to and it was alright. If anyone has any questions, get them to call me o1300 891 929 and I’ll tell them.
Anyway, I’m off to have my nap now, but it’s only 11am. Oh well, I got an early mark!
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK!
