Recently I got a huge project and I had to work on it almost around the clock. So I decided to sleep seven hours per day rather than eight hours because I needed to work more and spend more time on this project. It helped me to finish some tasks, not only faster but also better, because I had more time to solve the problems and to find the best solution for them. However, I don’t think that if I hadn’t changed my schedule, I wouldn’t have solved these problems. I’m almost sure that I would have solved them, but maybe it would have taken a little bit more time. but if I hadn’t changed it, it wouldn’t have affected the project significantly. It affected my life a little bit because I became more tired and fatigued. It doesn’t feel like a problem for now, but I think in one or two weeks it will feel like a problem, unless I change my schedule again and start sleeping 8 hours per day as I used to do. I think this change is for the better rather than for worse because it’s a tiny change and short change that I will eventually get rid of because I need to to sleep eight hours per day and I made this just in order to finish the project faster and spend more time on it. That’s the thing and I think maybe I should have considered another solution for that.
