Is a lack of sleep holding you back in life?

Answer this question:

## Q: Do you ever do things when you are tired (_besides resting/sleeping_) that you would not do when you are _fully_ rested?

When I am fully rested, I feel like I have more willpower to resist distraction and am able to focus on my work. I can _easily_ avoid eating processed-sugary-junk and stick to drinking water.

When I'm tired it's like I'm a different person. I resort to "sweet things" (_the worst are chocolate or cookies_) to boost my energy that I would otherwise be able to avoid. but I know it's a slippery slope and I will just be even _more_ tired when the temporary sugar rush wares off (_usually quite fast_!). So I know if I'm craving sugary things, it's a clear sign that I need to _sleep_, not _eat_!
