How long have you been participating in the Clock Your Sleep project?:

2-3 weeks

Has your sleep changed since you started tracking it?:

Yes, in another way

How your sleep has changed:

Being more aware of how little sleep I was getting has got me thinking about the impact it is having on my daily life. From weight gain to lack of energy and motivation, this is not a healthy way to live.

What did you learn about your sleep patterns once you started tracking them?:

I'm getting even less than I thought. TV is a big factor, trying to catch up late-night on shows I've missed while putting kids to bed.

Have you tried to change any of your behavior as a result of this study?:

Trying to get my behind to bed earlier! Not that it's the best way, but I have also let myself just fall asleep on the couch a few times the past week and I end up getting more sleep than if I made myself stay awake to watch whatever show I decided I had to see.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
