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, I'm getting more sleep

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

I wasn't getting as much sleep as I thought.

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

Started leaving the phone (aka my security blanket, or perhaps I should say, my insecurity blanket) in the kitchen... Though then I have to remember what time I turned the lights off to enter into the sleep study in the morning.

Also just before the sleep study started we ix-Nayed Netflix and the computer from the bedroom, so that's helped, too.

The tracking in concert with the reports about sleep have been informative and helpful. "I need to get more sleep" is a common thought, yet the inciteful, interactive and fun way it's been covered have helped me to change some habits. Hopefull it will persist after the study is over, and it won't all dissipate as the vapors of last night's dream.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
