As I'm writing this I realize I was pretty sleep deprived the last few days. Had only slept about 4-5 hours and I usually need 7-8 hours to be at my best. Still, feel fine at the moment but I think I need a good night sleep tonight.

Being very tired will result in low efficiency as well as a lack of creative flow. So, in other words, your writing and resulting content will be affected and will probability suck. So you if you have a deadline but you are very tired, I recommend you sleep for about 45 minutes, no more, no less. It will boost you up and you will function good for another few hours.

Coffee basically. I can't go own with a few sleeping hours for long periods of time. I got about 8 hours of sleep last night so I feel perfect today.

Yes I agree with you Cristian. When I feel tired I sort of cannot manage to concentrate well enough no mater how hard I try. And then I end up getting even more frustrated as apart from not being in the mood of writing, and feeling sleepy all the while, I also end up producing much less work within a given period of time when compared to what I normally manage to complete when I am feeling well rested. So I feel that it depends on how tired I am and also on my mood.

Hi jkeyz2 thanks for your question. I am sure insufficient rest should hamper your all daily work. As per as I know 6 to 7 hours mandatory for getting sleep and for taking rest in a day. If you do not, you should not perform your normal work activity. So, for writing content or anything, need to concentrate and thinking more and more. But, due to lack of rest, you not do it. For getting good and sound health, must to take reset for certain a period. At least I can say I cannot, If I do not take sufficient sleep, I feel head ache and felling dozy until next sleep.
So, taking sufficient rest very importance for good health and do normal work daily. It is just precondition by health adviser.

My work is all about writing, and so it can get pretty tedious and boring after a while. My eyes start to hurt and I often get headaches if I do not stop every now and then. And whenever I sleep less than 6 hours at night, I tend to be very cranky and sleepy the following day, and in that case I do not end up being very productive, so I try to avoid that as much as possible. I do not manage to rise very early to be honest, so whenever I do, I work more and I take more breaks because otherwise I just break down.

Any resting is very important for out life, health and business too. Sometime we just push and going over the edge, but resting is important. I had situations when i just couldn't find some solution for something even after hours of thinking and researching, but after good rest and relaxing my mind, solution pop up in minutes just like that Can a lack of rest effect you and your writing?

It doesn't have to be always sleeping. Could be walking, fishing, listening soe music or anything else that relaxes you and i use all that kind of things as much i can, so i can perform better while i am working

I am bipolar and a drug addict and alcoholic (clean though lol). I also suffer very badly from insomnia, I have to be on medication or I literally don't sleep.

I believe a lot of people don't place enough importance on getting enough rest. I can now see how one bad night's sleep can affect everything I do including my work. I need enough sleep to work productively, to be a good parent, to be a good driver and to keep my mental state in a good condition. If I don't get enough sleep it affects my bipolar which has a huge impact on all aspects of my life.

In short I have to be very careful.

To me, sleep and rest are 2 activities that I cannot miss in the day because I can feel my efficiency dipping when fatigue is setting in. Especially when I am writing, I don't force myself to finish what I had started when I feel tired, worse when I am sleepy. I'd rather take a nap first so my mind is rejuvenated and surely I can give a better performance. That's why I am strict on my bedtime hour at 9 pm, I have to be ready to sleep so my physical condition on the next day is perfect. And whenever I would not have a good night's sleep, I would find a way to take a nap after a lunch to avoid low quality in my output.

I sleep for around 4 hours or low. So that is something affecting my health a lot. And it has resulted in lack of good writing. And also some of the projects being pending. You can see that this has to change. And unless you take some serious action on that front. It'd be not possible for the health to adjust. The sleep needs to be increased. And that seems to be the only way to manage to get back the quality.

No matter what we do in life, there is always the need to rest and that is what is applicable to writing as well. I do not see any reason a writer shouldn't be getting the needed rest so as to relax the mind and body for a better performance as a writer. You always need rest as a writer so that you can write great content for your readers.
