Growing up under immigrant cultures, many of us view hard work and long sleepless nights to be strongly correlated. Some of us grew up seeing our own parents work late into the nights, while others were simply influenced by watching Asian school and office dramas.
In this episode, Connie and Jenny talk about how sleep deprivation has been over glorified in many societies. They speak on how hard work is sometimes measured through the time spent, and how many hours of enjoyment and sleep are sacrificed, rather than focusing on the productivity and quality of output. Thinking back on their high school and university experiences, while reflecting on their current 9-to-5 work hours, they discuss the lasting impacts of skewed mindsets and the value in getting a good night of sleep.
