I am more determined to get a full 8 hours of sleep without feeling lazy or guilty because I have learned how important it is to my health, stress level, weight, concentration levels and more. I allow myself to sleep deeply, guilt-free.
:
I learned that I fall asleep very quickly. that it's normal to wake up 1-2 times and that I pretty much split my time evenly between light sleep and deep sleep.
:
I allow myself to sleep longer, guilt-free. I don't take pleasure in saying how little sleep I get. I allocate the time to get a good night sleep because I have learned how important it is and it is not to be skipped over.
It confirmed my pattern of lack of sleep during the week and crashing on the weekends, which has been in place since I was in high school, over 10 years ago.

I have only been tracking my sleep for a little over a week, but I have started trying to listen to my body better. It tells me when I am getting tired. It's when I try to fight it (usually either to get something done around the house or catch up on TV) that things start to go wrong. I'm trying to remember that I need sleep to be healthy. My body tells me that, too, as I get terrible headaches when I am sleep deprived.
I go to bed later than I think I am. However, this month (April) has been very busy for me (going out to events at night) / my schedule is slightly different than it was over the winter... so on average, I think I'm getting about 30 mins less sleep than I would normally.
I'm more conscious of when I am going to sleep. But even more so, I try and reduce that time between when I wake up and when I actually get out of bed
:
I didn't realize how precious my solid periods of sleep were. I almost never wake up during the night but didn't realize that this was not necessarily the norm.
:
No, but I do feel a small victory when I go to sleep earlier and/or get out of bed earlier that my habitual time.
that i'm getting a lot less sleep than most new yorkers! but my sleep is solid - it doesn't take me long to fall asleep, and i don't wake up in the night.
:
i tried going to bed a little earlier and not napping in the afternoons, but they are hard habits to break.
I am consistently getting one day a week of not enough sleep. I am more aware of the impact of less sleep than I used to be. The study has heightened my attention to sleep deficit.
It is not so much the amount of sleep but the quality. The way I see it, it is not the quantity of my sleep, but when I wake up: at what phase of sleep. If I wake up at the right phase, I'm wide awake and alert. If at the "wrong" phase, all day is shot out
:
I feel I've changed my sleep patterns though I did not do it consciously
