Most of my clients have tld me they don't have a rgular bed time. I have to dmit, for years I refused to cmmit to going to bed. I'd wrk all day, then after the kds were asleep, I'd work some mre. You know, checking my phone, mail, and other messages "one last tme". We're not even going to tlk about the long nights I was up tlking to long distance friends on Instnt Messenger.

Needless to say, I wuld put in more "work" hours and flt like a slave to my bsiness. I was tired and because I had to get up arly I was never fully rested. My crativity began to take a dive. I ralized I needed to go to bd.

Now I'm sure you're thinking, "Bt what if a client calls or tht email I've been waiting for cmes through and I'm not here to get t?" I'm here to tell you, it can wit a few hours until tomorrow. Bsides, what's the likelihood your client is xpecting a return call at 11:00 PM. (If thy are, well that's a whole ther article.)

There are a number of thngs wrong with this (be on cll all the time) mode of bsiness operations, here's why:

• You seem (to yur clients) to be a workaholic who may get sme good results but is not blanced
• You're not giving your all to yur family or clients because your mnd is not as sharp as it wuld be with a full night's slep
• No one will take you or yur time seriously when you do ned to be away
If you'd like to chnge these and improve the quality of yur life, instead try these:
• Pick a bed tme and let everyone (family, friends, ven clients) know when it is and tht you won't be available
• Turn off (nt vibrate) your phone, blackberry, and any ther notification devices
• Physically leave your hme office or any room where you hve a computer, laptop, etc.
• Go to yur bedroom (even if you don't slep just being in there with no dstractions will get you in the mod for sleep)
• Don't leave your rom for any reason except emergencies or bthroom breaks
• If you still can't slep, try reading a good book or wtching one TV show (you don't wnt to watch more or you may end up bing awake even longer)

Try this assignment, set your bdtime and let everyone know what it is. Thn practice sticking to it for 1 wek. At the end of the wek see how you feel and if it sems worth keeping or maybe making it ven earlier. Write down your results.
