&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I’ve definitely had a shift in thinking recently. I used to be pretty firm on the idea that working long hours was the best way to get ahead. But after reflecting more and seeing the impact on my personal life and well-being, I realized I was wrong. It wasn’t so much that I was misinformed, but I hadn’t really considered how important balance was, and how burnout could actually hurt productivity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Honestly, it feels a bit strange at first, but also kind of freeing. It’s good to recognize when you’ve been wrong—it makes you more open to growth. I think the biggest reason for the change was just a lack of knowledge at the time, and I’m glad I took the time to rethink things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I couldn&#39;t agree more with both of you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only is sleep one of the most important parts of my day, but it&#39;s getting more important as I get older. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I was in my mid 20&#39;s, I could go multiple days in a row with less sleep and just power through it. Now I become such a zombie after even one night of less sleep. As I write this, I am very much feeling the effects of only getting about 5 hours last night, when I am typically closer to 7 on a weekday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a previous life, I would sometimes sleep on a couch in my office during our busy times, and while it was not necessarily &quot;fun&quot;, I took pride in it. I could never pull that off now and be of any use the next day. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Brett,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was the same even until recently.  I used to think 3-4 hours sleep would be ok for a couple of days per week, and I would be able to catch-up on my sleep the day after or at the weekend.  However, I soon realised that wasn&#39;t the case and I would be tired, have &#39;brain fog&#39; and be unproductive, be &#39;moody&#39;, and be inefficient the day after.  Research has shown it can take a number of days to get over a couple of consecutive days of little sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So bottom line is not to disregard your sleep - sacrifice other things, as adequate sleep is vital for so many reasons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);&quot;&gt;Great response Sammy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);&quot;&gt;If you think of Sleep - it&#39;s something that has only become a point of focus and importance recently.&amp;nbsp; I remember reading that Napoleon used to only sleep 3 hours and the former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher used to boast that she also only &#39;slept 3 hours a night&#39;.&amp;nbsp; In fact it was almost seen as a &#39;macho&#39; trait in the 80’s and 90’s that only a limited amount of sleep was required.&amp;nbsp; Now, practically every health/fitness/sports professional has stated the converse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);&quot;&gt;Most practitioners now say that at least between 6.5 hours to 8 hours every night.&amp;nbsp; Countless studies and research support this now. The association between the &#39;right&#39; amount of necessary sleep and all the benefits that accrue (improved cognitive function, feeling healthier, being in a better mood, having more energy etc.) has now been proven over and over again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As an art director, I believe it is essential to think outside the box, embracing multiple perspectives when developing my ideas, concepts, and thoughts. This trait seems to be a common characteristic of those with artistic personalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Changing people&#39;s viewpoints is incredibly challenging; you can offer guidance, but their ideology is ultimately their own. All we can truly shape is our own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Maura,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s great to see you have freedom and an artistic license that doesn&#39;t limit your creative thinking and imagination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are right about changing people&#39;s viewpoints - some people can be swayed and change their minds, while others with stronger convictions stick very much to their beliefs and ideology.  It&#39;s interesting when you look at Politics.  I&#39;ve seen so many politicians, thinkers, and commentators shift from Left-Wing politics to becoming Right-Wingers.  It&#39;s rare to see it the other way around.  I&#39;ve also seen this trend in the Acting community and more recently in the Tech community (US).&lt;/p&gt;
