If You Want To Be Successful, Do These Things Before Hitting The Sack

Success. What defines a successful person? Success, many times is in the eye of the beholder. Here are some things that successful people do before calling it a night.Bed time is a great time to reflect on the day and plan for the next. So, today on the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight the 5 things that successful people do before they go to bed according to Peter High, a Forbes.com contributor.

1. Spending Time With The Family - Drawing the line between family and work can be a challenging task. However, most people make time with the family and are able to balance between the too as they know how important it is. If your family life is weak, you'll not do your best at work.
2. Read - When was the last time you read a good book. Avid reading is a mark of a successful individual. Books provide ideas and take your mind away from the day to day operations of the job.
3. Plan Order To Relax Your Mind - Plan the next day like creating lists of what was accomplished today and write out what you plan to do tomorrow. Waking up with a good plan helps bring success to people.
4. Turn Off The Computer & The Cell Phone - I know, good luck with this - right? Well, you can do it. Unless you are a doctor or minister on call, try to shut it off as this is a big distraction from precious family time. They want your full attention.
5. Get Seven Hours Of Sleep Every Day - You will feel refreshed and ready to go throughout the day.
