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

1-2 weeks

Has your sleep changed since you started tracking it?:

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

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.

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

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.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
