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

1 month or more

Has your sleep changed since you started tracking it?:

Yes, in another way

How your sleep has changed:

My sleep hasn't changed but this study has given me the opportunity to reflect on my pre-sleep behavior, which has been very helpful.

My sleep isn't the problem. My pre-sleep behavior is the problem. I am finding that I have to review my whole day with the thought that I am preparing to go to sleep at a given time.

I think that will be very interesting as well as very helpful.

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

I have become very aware that I feel groggy in the morning because I went to sleep too late the night before.

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

Even if I turn off my computer an hour in advance I go to sleep too late. One of the changes I have to make is to wash the dishes as I make them dirty throughout the day, instead of washing them before I go to sleep. I need to come up with more small changes like that to make it easier for me to go to sleep earlier.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
