Chapter 67 ★Go to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening once a week on Saturday and Friday

A friend of mine gave me this advice a few years ago.Soon, when I practiced it, the benefits were so great that Gibbs and I decided to incorporate this advice into our life-simplification movement.We found a day of Friday and went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening.Doing this not only allows us to comfortably release the tiredness accumulated over the past week, but also gives us a relaxing start to the weekend.Later, we found that the quiet moment we most longed for during the whole week was the night when Li went to bed early on Friday. If, you've cut back some of the lively entertainment, by all means, make sure you stay home on Friday night so you can start having a good night.Sunday is also a very suitable day to go to bed early, because there are usually fewer things on Sunday, and going to bed early can also allow you to fully rest and cope with the beginning of the week.

No matter which night you choose to go to bed early, the investment you make in sleep will pay off big time.For example, if you do this, you will definitely feel more energetic and refreshed than when you go to bed late. Moreover, after the energy is sufficient, the efficiency and quality of your work and leisure will definitely improve a lot. Ever since I secretly fell in love with sleeping, I've wondered: Why didn't I think of this suggestion sooner?In the end, it dawned on me that I had always been deeply rooted in the Protestant work ethic, and I always thought it was a sin to go to bed early, unless I wasn't feeling well.The few friends I mentioned earlier also have the same concept as me.

When you start the Simplify Life movement, you will find a surprising phenomenon: many old values, such as the Protestant work ethic, laziness is the patent of the devil, the end of the day, the early bird catches the worm, etc. , has gradually no effect on you.As a result, you also begin to understand that you can boldly relax, even do nothing, and that even going to bed early is no longer a sin.
