The Sleep Challenge (week 1)
Posted on: 31 January 2010
After a positive start, I admit I have been slacking a little. However, overall my sleep pattern has improved. As more of a night person I'm finding it difficult to persuade my body it's time to sleep at a time that - to me - seems too early (not to mention the ever present number of distractions available). Mornings aren't much better; it's all about motivation (or lack of). And that is something I am hoping to improve in week 2. Without further ado, here all the results of week 1:
| Date | Morning | Night |
|---|---|---|
| Sat 23rd Jan | --- | 11:07PM |
| Sun 24th Jan | 07:53AM | 11:04PM |
| Mon 25th Jan | 08:45AM | 11:04PM |
| Tues 26th Jan | 08:10AM | 11:03PM |
| Wed 27th Jan | 08:30AM | 12:25AM * |
| Thurs 28th Jan | 08:45AM | 12:30AM ** |
| Fri 29th Jan | 09:30AM | 12:10AM *** |
| Sat 30th Jan | 09:15AM | 11:43PM |
| Sun 31st Jan | 09:30AM | --- |
| Conclusion: FAIL | ||
As you can see, I have half-arsed excuses for the night time mishaps, however I really don't have much of an excuse for all the late rising. I can only hope for more of a success next week.
In addition to week 2 of the sleep challenge, I will be attempting a new challenge. I call it "The Water Challenge". As you know, doctors recommend 2L of water a day. I get nowhere near this (if you don't count tea), so I will be attempting 2L a day for a week. However, to make it a little easier to measure, I'll be using imperial measurements - the pint to be specific. Therefore, i will aim to drink 4 pints of water a day - approximately 2.3L (a little more can't hurt).
Lastly, the new design has been finished for a few days now. Switchover to this new version will happen imminently. So imminently in fact, you may be reading this on the new design. You lucky person, you.
