Chronic Fatigue in the Workplace – Why Your Alarm Clock Is To Blame!
If you suffer from chronic fatigue in the workplace - you're certainly not alone. In fact chronic fatigue is the Number 1 complaint Doctor's receive from their patients.
And interestingly enough, for the majority of these cases it's not the amount of sleep that is lacking, but rather the lack of quality sleep.
You see it's all got to do with your sleep cycles or circadian rhythm. In order for you to overcome chronic fatigue, it is absolutely essential that you wake up at the end of the sleep cycle. If you wake up in the middle of a cycle - thanks to your blaring alarm clock, you will feel tired not only in the morning, but throughout the entire day.
Your brain is actually very active during the night because it goes through a number of different processes in order for you to function properly the next day. At the end of the cycle, your brain has finished doing what it has to do. Now if you wake up somewhere in the middle of the cycle, you prevent your brain from finishing the necessary processes.
As a result you are likely to feel tired, irritated, and have trouble concentrating!
Sound familiar?
Now in the perfect world you would not be disturbed by a blaring alarm clock.
As a result, you would never wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle because your brain is programmed to finish each cycle before waking you up.
This is why tiredness and chronic fatigue was virtually non existent hundreds of years ago. (Think cave man times here). You see tiredness and chronic fatigue caused from unfinished sleep cycles - has only reached massive proportions since the invention of the alarm clock. And now it is regarded as a worldwide epidemic!
So before you take drastic action and throw away your alarm clock, I recommend you read an article titled - "Why Shift Workers Are So Tired, Unhealthy & Unhappy!"
Whether you're a shift worker or just somebody that suffers from constant fatigue, you will get a completely different insight into how you can get more energy back into your life!

Kay Hammer
2000
From the inside jacket:
Successful people don't get to the top without struggles. But few are willing to expose the failures and setbacks that have lined their paths through the battle zones of business.
Kay Hammer is that rare breed. With startling candor and penetrating intelligence, this "very modern, very American heroine (Forbes) gives a frank and full recounting of her mid-career reinvention, from a linguistics professor alone to the President, CEO, and co-founder of Evolutionary Technologies International...
Hammer's new life began with an epiphany - that nothing substantive in her life would change unless she made it happen. There would be no Prince Charming. From that moment on, she began a long, ardous journey to carve for herself in the youthful, male-dominated software industry-a journey which she likens to serving the apprenticeship of a medieval warrior...
Her strategies are geared for battles on all fronts: not only for disarming foes, gaining allies, and winning battles in the boardroom, but also for confronting the internal enemies of self-doubt, fear of failure, and unresolved anger.
Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!
