Description

The most successful people I know aren’t the ones who grind 24/7, they’re the ones who understand that rest is a competitive advantage. Dr. Patrick Porter’s research with Microsoft and Google programmers revealed something that completely changed my perspective: when top performers took just 20 minutes for a “brain break” at 2 PM, they produced 26% more work and saw their sleep improve 47%, happiness increase 54%, and work-life balance improve over 80%. Now, I realize that our brains need deep delta sleep to clean themselves through the glial lymphatic system, and without it, we’re running on fumes while thinking we’re being productive.
