Sleep.
It sounds almost too simple. Too passive. In a world obsessed with doing, sleep feels like a waste of time — a luxury, not a priority.

But here’s the quiet truth:
Your life is only as clear as your mind. And your mind is only as strong as your sleep.

The Hidden Cost of Being Tired All the Time

Let’s be honest — we’ve normalized exhaustion.

We joke about needing caffeine just to function. We call it ambition when we work until 2 a.m., pride ourselves on being “night owls,” and wear sleeplessness like a badge of honor. But the cost is far from funny.

Lack of sleep doesn’t just make us cranky. It makes us forgetful. It makes our emotions fragile. It makes decision-making harder and empathy thinner. It disconnects us from ourselves — and from those we love.
