Sleep has a huge impact on my mood. If I get enough sleep each night, I have noticed that I will often have a much better mood throughout the day. Conversely, when I do not get enough sleep, even if it's one or two hours less, I am prone to having a bad mood at some point throughout the day. The magic number for me is around 8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need more or less. Most of my life I would try to cram as much as I could in to a single day. Whether it was working on a project or playing one last game, I would always stay up as late as I possibly could before going to sleep. As a society we will turn to almost anything to help put us in a better mood. People will turn to medication, alcohol, illegal drugs, clubs and groups. I am thankful to have finally found the secret to consistently being a good mood, and I am happy to be able to get enough sleep each night! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support
