However, many people choose to live the “vamp” life, surfing the internet at late hours or ditching sleep to stay in the grind towards success.
Many equate not sleeping to being successful, but sacrificing sleep can take a negative toll on the body and mind over time. It’s time for you to have a bedgasm — yes a bedgasm. Just think if sleep and orgasm had a baby, it would be a bedgasm.
