As a manager preparing for a big speech, you've envisioned the whole program from beginning to the end. How the MC over-qualified you in their introduction, how you spoke nervously, and didn't receive a standing ovation. That's why you're so bothered - you can't get enough sleep; you just perfect your speech till you envision that standing ovation.
The truth is we've all been there. Preparing for that big occasion can have an effect on our lives, and our routines including our sleeping patterns. Your once solid sleep routine of 8 hours keeps reducing more as the day draws closer. You begin to suffer from what is known as acute insomnia; an insomnia occasioned by a transient situation. Let's explore reasons why this can happen:
Stress - a key factor to triggering insomnia
The preparation for your big speech can act as a catalyst for any underlying inert stress. As the manager, perhaps you're already facing enormous stress at work - production has taken a downturn, management has added to your already bogus responsibilities, you're just overwhelmed. Adding the big speech will only compound the existing stress. From then you find it hard to shut your eyes even after enduring a very hard and long day; and when you finally shut it, it's easily punctuated.
First time syndrome
For some managers, perhaps the biggest audience they've ever spoken to, is just the members of staff under their purview. An occasion of this magnitude has never been experienced by them. The first time they say is the hardest, and the maxim holds true in this case as well. It is much easier when you've done it before, and have an experience to fall back on. In cases like this, the anxiety level increases, and leads to acute insomnia.

Eager to please
Whilst having a character that pursues excellence at all times is a good thing, the motive behind it will always inform our decision of boundaries, and how far we are willing to push things. If the goal is to present an excellent speech, then you're only worried about a thing. But in the case where you want to please everybody - the CEO, the Board of Directors, the other managers, and everyone present, you've only given yourself a Herculean task. It's like trying to present a different speech for each person. There would never be a speech that can please everybody. From different ethnic groups, to different religious affiliations, what you should stick with is the truth.
As daunting as preparing a big speech to a big audience, applying yourself logically is the solution. Learning to focus just on the speech will reduce the anxiety and tension. In focusing on the topic given for the speech, you have a chance to eliminate prejudice and embrace the truth as it becomes a non-partisan speech. To wrap it all up, always learn to relax. Continued anxiety and acute insomnia before that day can lead to a poor performance on that day; what you should and can do is relax the day before. Don’t over-think your speech over and over again in your mind, and find a relaxing activity that can help you unwind.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be another reason why business managers and CEOs may suffer from insomnia before giving a speech in front of an audience. It’s quite ok to be nervous before a presentation, but that doesn’t mean spending all night stressing about it. Put your anxiety to good use and transform it into something productive. Turn it into excitement and look forward to giving that presentation. Stay focused on your goals and don’t allow anyone to disrupt your good mood. Before going to sleep, have a glass of warm milk or tea. It will help you fall asleep a lot faster.
Business managers who want to thrive in their work environment must learn to separate their intellect from their heart. Don’t let emotions get the best of your judgment and always keep in mind that the key to preparing the best speech demands a lot of patience. Keep your cool, rest properly before the big day, and don’t think too much about what could go wrong. Stay positive and everything will be alright.
The truth is we've all been there. Preparing for that big occasion can have an effect on our lives, and our routines including our sleeping patterns. Your once solid sleep routine of 8 hours keeps reducing more as the day draws closer. You begin to suffer from what is known as acute insomnia; an insomnia occasioned by a transient situation. Let's explore reasons why this can happen:

The first time they say is the hardest, and the maxim holds true in this case as well. It is much easier when you've done it before, and have an experience to fall back on. In cases like this, the anxiety level increases, and leads to acute insomnia.

Eager to please
Whilst having a character that pursues excellence at all times is a good thing, the motive behind it will always inform our decision of boundaries, and how far we are willing to push things. If the goal is to present an excellent speech, then you're only worried about a thing. But in the case where you want to please everybody - the CEO, the Board of Directors, the other managers, and everyone present, you've only given yourself a Herculean task. It's like trying to present a different speech for each person. There would never be a speech that can please everybody. From different ethnic groups, to different religious affiliations, what you should stick with is the truth.
As daunting as preparing a big speech to a big audience, applying yourself logically is the solution. Learning to focus just on the speech will reduce the anxiety and tension. In focusing on the topic given for the speech, you have a chance to eliminate prejudice and embrace the truth as it becomes a non-partisan speech. To wrap it all up, always learn to relax. Continued anxiety and acute insomnia before that day can lead to a poor performance on that day; what you should and can do is relax the day before. Don’t over-think your speech over and over again in your mind, and find a relaxing activity that can help you unwind.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be another reason why business managers and CEOs may suffer from insomnia before giving a speech in front of an audience. It’s quite ok to be nervous before a presentation, but that doesn’t mean spending all night stressing about it. Put your anxiety to good use and transform it into something productive. Turn it into excitement and look forward to giving that presentation. Stay focused on your goals and don’t allow anyone to disrupt your good mood. Before going to sleep, have a glass of warm milk or tea. It will help you fall asleep a lot faster.
Business managers who want to thrive in their work environment must learn to separate their intellect from their heart. Don’t let emotions get the best of your judgment and always keep in mind that the key to preparing the best speech demands a lot of patience. Keep your cool, rest properly before the big day, and don’t think too much about what could go wrong. Stay positive and everything will be alright.
