Sleep and Money

More interlinked than we think.

Making money while you sleep is an attractive proposition, and one you must take advantage of.

But have you ever thought about how your sleep affects your money?

It's not a secret that lack of sleep affects our performance at the workplace - brain fog, sluggishness, irritability - these are all effects we experience when we haven't been able to catch enough sleep. But how does it affect your wealth?

For starters, what you can invest is dictated by how much you earn for the most part. Lack of sleep can have a severely negative impact on your performance at the workplace, thus reducing your chances at earning more and that too quickly.

Leaving the performance at the workplace aside, lack of sleep also has a detrimental impact on your health, increasing your hospital visits, days off and causing long term damage to your body. All of this leads to eating away at your wealth which you lost sleep over acquiring.

Moreover, since lack of sleep also leads to reduced decision making abilities, it can affect your investments too. If you are a D-I-Y investor, sleep is one of your biggest assets in making the right decisions for your portfolio. If you are a trader, alertness is key in making sure you make the best possible decisions.

For someone who doesn't want to lose sleep over growing their wealth, and doesn't want to lose wealth because of losing sleep, the best solution would be to work with a financial advisor, and focus on catching their shut eye.
