A few days back I was asked, “What happens when we do not sleep well”. 😴⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
I know there are all sorts of theories. 🤔⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
But I would like to quote an analogy from my IT career. 💻⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
I work only with Windows OS. Every week Windows releases security patches. 🔄⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
They identify things that are bugs with the existing OS. You may have seen this with Android and Apple iOS as well. 📱⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
So, every time an update happens the faulty programs are corrected, and then new programs which are supposed to work much better are installed. 🚀⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Does this Update stop just in a week? ❌⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
No. ⏳⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Every week I get the notification to update to the latest Windows OS. 📅⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Similarly, the brain needs to update itself so it needs some downtime. 😌⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Only when you sleep do you have the downtime to update your OS. 💤⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
What happens if you do not update your OS? 🤔⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Organizations run the risk of a ransomware attack that could cost billions of dollars. 💰⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Similarly, if you do not sleep you run the risk of being ill and that could cost you dearly. 🤒⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
We take things for granted that we can run the race of life by forgetting the basics but that is not true. 🏃‍♂️⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
I would like to end with this powerful quote “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry” -Thomas Fuller. 💧⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Similarly, if we take sleep for granted until we start losing sleep and in turn start having buggy OS. 😬⁣

P.S.: Sharing the image of an update that happened on my mobile phone.
