  • This check-in is for June 2nd – 8th.
  • My focus is shifting to something I haven’t been paying enough attention to lately: how much sleep I’m getting.  More specifically, how much deep sleep I’m getting.  I discovered I’m only getting about half the amount of deep sleep I need.  It’s the same with my REM sleep.  This could be an explanation for why I tend to take long naps during the weekend; my body is trying to catch up.
  • What I don’t understand about this is that I practice good sleep hygiene.  I go to bed and get up at about the same time every day.  I keep the bedroom dark, cool, and electronics free.  I shut off or put away all of my electronics more than an hour before I go to bed.  I don’t eat anything three hours before bed.  I use melatonin, and I usually drink a cup of chamomile or Sleepy Time tea a couple hours before I go to sleep.  I’m not sure what else to try.

  • This check-in is for May 26th – June 1st.
  • I LOVE Habitica (Habit RPG)!  I’m already at Level 9 and I’ve collected several pets and pieces of gear.
  • I also love Walking4Fun.  My FitBit syncs with my profile and I can see how far along the Appalachian Trail I’ve gone when I log in to my account on the website.   Each section of the trail has pictures, a trail diary, and maps.  There’s also a public section to write your own comments, and another section to see all your stats.
