Good question. A mixture of few things:

- Health. I started to realize how unhealthy my schedule was. I would have headaches, I would not sleep well, my moods were horrible. Most importantly, I started to suffer physically. I play tennis on a professional level so my practice sessions were often cut short because I had no energy. My game deteriorated. I feel much much better now that I go to bed early and wake up early. I can even be found on a tennis court at 8:30 am at times - something that is unheard of for everyone who knows me.

- Business. My productivity was very low until I started to get healthy sleep. I would be found crashing at my desk, I had low motivation to keep executing various tasks. I also realized that lack of sleep equals blurry results. In addition, the world works 9 to 5. If I start working at 12 in the afternoon, that means half the working day is over and less things can be accomplished.

- Counseling. I spent a few sessions with a therapist (due to failing productivity and poor results) who helped me find a healthier way to function.


What about you, Ali?

Best,
