I'll be honest, I can see myself in some of those traits. Feeling guilty if I'm not taking action, and having trouble unwinding.

Now, I'm getting better at it... but I do make sure I get at least 7 hours a night. Anything less than that, and I'm off form for most of the following day.

I couldn't agree more.. If my sleep goes, everything else goes with it. Everything just feels so much harder the next day, and there's plenty of neuroscience behind why this is a thing!

I never used t rest. I was in the camp of resting is lazy. I also defined myself largely by my profession. When I started resting and stopped being what I did and not who I was, my life changed dramatically. Great article. Very important points. Thank you!
