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:

I'm getting to sleep faster and also letting myself rest in bed if I am tried when I wake up in the morning. Even if I don't get more actual hours of sleep I do feel better as a result of resting for 10-20 minutes before getting out of bed when i feel tired in the AM.

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

The biggest obstacles to my getting more sleep are: 1. being distracted by reading too many newspaper articles late at night or 2. watching too much TV at night

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

Yes - have tried to eat earlier with some limited success and have watched the clock more when watching TV. Have not yet succeeded in getting to bed earlier. But I will not give up on this.
