    5 hours and 53 minutes. I was out late dancing, so didn't get to bed on time. I did sleep in until almost 7 and only awakened once during the night. I often have trouble sleeping after dancing because of aches and pains, so I was pleasantly surprised.

    I am thrilled to hear this, @MadisonMolly2017. Focusing and making sleep a priority is the key to getting better sleep. It won’t just happen on its own.

    6 hours 20 min last night and that’s my average for the week:

    I really want to nudge it closer to 7 hours.

    Something else I want to purchase. A super quiet box window fan. The fan I have is a generic Walmart type fan and it’s too loud for me to keep running throughout the night. There has to be a quiet window fan out there. Does anyone have one to recommend? I thought I found one on Amazon last night, but it turns out it’s a computer fan.

    I have the same issue, but I must run the fan all night. I have seen the Dyson fans but goodness sakes alive they are around $300!!!!! :#

    I went to bed early, did a yoga nidra at bedtime, and still didn't sleep particularly great. Still it wasn't terrible.

    6 hours and 49 minutes.

    Averages for past 8 nights:
    6 hours 4 minutes of sleep
    Sleep Quality: 64%
    Not too bad, but I’m going to shoot for:
    6-1/2 hours and Sleep Quality avg of 70% by the last week in July.

    June 25
    Sleep Quality: 70%
    7h8m
    6h50 sleep
    4% awake
    7% REM
    16% light
    73%deep wewt

    June 26
    Sleep Quality 60%
    6h49m
    5h30m
    20% awake
    12 REM
    46 light
    22 deep
    Apple Watch
    I definitely went to sleep way too late & looks as though I sleep much better with window open. Cat or light or morning noises are likely reducing my REM.

    The app suggested best bedtime for Quality sleep for me is 12:55, so I will make sure to have lights off by then.

    I *know* what I really need to do is move my phone out of bedroom, but I use it for sleep tracking. Last night I was clearly tired but “fought it” for over an hour cruising MFP & researching different topics.

    So, I’ll try this: no phone after 12:30 AM
    Lights out no later than 12:45 AM.

    @MadisonMolly2017 well done. It is hard to take the phone away but trust me it is worth it! Keep up the good work.

    5 hours 45 minutes for me last night. I’m slipping backwards a little, but it’s in part because I have a very exciting weekend planned and there’s lots to do. Working at sleep has given me a key insight: my wake up time is pretty fixed (I wake up without the alarm) so to get more sleep I have to be in bed earlier. I can do better, but I’m not beating myself up over it.
