Yes, in another way

I'm more aware of how much stress is interfering; I've learned some new techniques that "sometimes" help me go back to sleep at 4 or 5 am . . .
:
I get less sleep than I thought: uh-oh
:
Actually I've tried getting more exercise during the day. (Having temperatures above freezing helps.)
My sleep is more consistent than I first thought it was, and I get a better night sleep in comparisons to other people. Initially I was worried because I wake up in the middle of the night, but my sleep is better in comparison to the rest of the group, so I'm more relaxed about it now. I'm also getting deeper sleeps than I used to. But about the same time I started this study, I also started meditating more consistently.
It takes me a long time to get out of bed once I'm awake. Also, if be interested in their being a "journal" or "woke up during the night 1/2/3 times button" because I'm often interested in when I slept all night and when I woke for a moment during the night. I don't often wake for long 15 minute periods but sometimes 2 or 3 times for a minute or two.
I am much more conscious of how I feel when I get 15-30 minutes less sleep than usual. I do not get enough sleep most nights so missing 15-30 minutes does make a difference.

I stay up way too late.

Yes - but have not yet succeeded. It's a great project. Thank you
I started tracking my sleep with Jawbone, before this survey and that is how I learned about my sleep cycles and worked to increase my sleep each night with the goal of trying to reach 8 hours of sleep each night.
:
I take about 20-30 mins to fall asleep and never sleep through the night.
:
I try to go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time every morning. I also try to get to bed earlier, as I tend to need time to fall asleep which cuts into my overall sleep time.
I have trouble getting myself to just stop the day and go to bed. In the beginning of sleep tracking I was trying to be more of an A student and get to bed by 10, but now I'm slipping closer and closer to midnight again.
I learned I had very poor quality sleep, below 70% almost every night. I was eating late and going to bed late. I stopped eating after dinner, no dessert, no snacks. I forced myself to go to bed earlier, to put down the iPhone, iPad, etc. It's tough.

I really do wake up around the same time. I went on vacation to Jamaica, which is in central time, and all week went to bed earlier and woke up earlier (as if I were on east coast time). Neither the change of pace, setting, absence of work, drinking or eating changed this. But then, I love sleep and will get it in at all costs!
