Sleep Day 1

Well whew! That weekend went quick! But doesn't it always!

I stated last week that I was going to log my sleep for at least a week, and see how I do. Well, I can say that I didn't start off very well last night (Monday night). I have been reading "The Hunger Games" Trilogy and I really wanted to get it finished. Something about that last book that you want to hurry up and be finished already! So with only 3 chapters left, I absolutely HAD to finish! ;)

The application I'm using on my phone is called Sleep Cycle. Feel free to look it up at sleepcycle.com. I believe it has a rating of around 4 out of 5 stars. Here is how it works.

Sleep Cycle creates a 30 minute wake-up phase that ends at your desired alarm time.
During this phase Sleep cycle will monitor signals from your body to wake you softly, when you are in the lightest possible sleep state.

The Iphone uses the accelerometer to sense your movements as you sleep. (Not sure if this really works or not, and don't really care.) I just use the application to know my start/end sleep time.

I am posting my Day 1 results below.


Ok....So you can see when I went to bed and woke up. Well 7 hours to me isn't too bad, but could be better.

It also give me my average over a certain amount of time. I guess my average is around 6 hours and 45 minutes.

I'm not going to worry about my average right now. My goal is to do better this week. If I can do better nightly, then weekly, then my overall average should change.

So my primary focus is just on this week. :) I actually love this app. As I said before, I don't rely on it too much as far as my sleep patterns and such go, but I do like to know how much sleep I'm getting. Not sure why, but I do! :)

I hope everyone has a blessed week ahead! I know I'm going to! Until tomorrow!~

  1. Fitbit.com has a way to track how many times I woke up and was restless in my sleep. I mainly wear it for steps and stairs climbed and calories burned for the day. I'm going to check yours out too.
