Hi there, it’s Sarah in London. Prior to joining the Pursuits team, I used to have my daily alarm set for 4 a.m. No, not for fun or to run ultra-marathons or because I’m one of those people (liars) who say they don’t need sleep, but so I could get to the office to produce a morning news program for Bloomberg TV. The news didn’t sleep and neither did I.
It wasn’t a very healthy wake-up time, and I was tired constantly, even on my vacations. Now, I set an alarm for 7:30 a.m. like millions of other people and it has made a massive difference in my quality of life. I have a better grip on my emotions and am a better friend and partner now that I’m well-rested.
