Then why aren\u2019t you prioritizing a good night\u2019s sleep? One of the reasons may be that New Yorkers applaud not getting enough sleep and wear it like a badge of honor. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some people view getting eight hours of sleep as a sign of laziness and an indication that you\u2019re not committed or dedicated to your job. \u00a0Those two to three cups of coffee or occasional energy drinks that you consume throughout the day aren\u2019t helpful either.

It\u2019s time we <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New Yorkers come to terms with and talk about how truly important getting a good night\u2019s sleep is for our mental and physical well-being. \u00a0Have you ever seen the ads for Casper on the subway? Other than being a direct-to-customer mattress company, the mattress brand also actually gets the importance of sleep. Casper co-founder Philip Krim stated, &#8220;We want to be the brand that people talk about as really accelerating the movement around realizing that prioritizing sleep is an important <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2017\/11\/10\/news\/companies\/casper-philip-krim-fresh-money\/index.html\">thing.<\/a>&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Krim said that just as Nike made active lifestyles appealing, and Whole Foods popularized healthy eating, Casper is going to bring to light to the third pillar of wellness \u2013 Sleep. \u00a0Thanks, Casper! It\u2019s nice to know that someone is looking out for us \u2013 but we also have to look out for each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you\u2019re tired, you\u2019re too exhausted to do other activities that make you feel good \u2013 like being with friends or taking a yoga class. \u00a0Lack of sleep also affects our mood. And if you\u2019re not taking care of yourself, then you definitely aren\u2019t able to take care of others. As New Yorkers \u2013 we need to perceive sleep as a valuable and necessary component to living a healthy life. \u00a0Let\u2019s reverse the negative stigma associated with getting a good night\u2019s sleep and check in on each other to make sure we\u2019re getting enough ZZzzzs.<\/span> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/zaymyi-next.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wake up! \u00a0Are you sleeping enough?
