Have you ever found yourself feeling tired despite putting in the sleep hours? Don’t confuse Quantity with Quality. There is never a guarantee of getting Quality even with a huge amount of Quantity. For example, sleeping 8 hrs per night doesn’t always mean you are well-rested, and sleeping 6.5-7 hrs per night doesn’t guarantee you have bad sleep.
