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

1-2 weeks

Has your sleep changed since you started tracking it?:

Yes, in another way

How your sleep has changed:

I am more aware of how long it takes me to fall asleep and have been thinking about why. I enjoy knowing how much sleep I've gotten and how caffeine is impacting my sleep patterns. I am slave to the bean!

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

I've learned that I get very little sleep and that days when I "exercised" I tended to fall asleep faster.

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

Yes. I work in the film industry where we have a minimum 12 hour work day, so getting very little sleep is a given, but I am happy to start transforming my sleep patterns within my circumstances. I have tried to stop drinking caffeine after 2:45 and have stopped putting my cellphone as close to my bed. I still get very little sleep, but knowing why or having some sense of my habits is comforting.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
