    I know I am the OAL who wrote, this, but when the subject came up of a healthy habit I JUMPED to do it!! WHY? My sleep has not been good at all. I learned so much more as I did so. Since I had been working at sleep before writing this healthy habit and talked to others who have a hard time sleeping, we zeroed in on the few points above, plus more.

    Now I am sleeping better. TY TY TY @Ceriusly1 for asking, I hope members do put comments in here.

    My problem is not the ability to fall asleep, nor to stay asleep. It's the fact I have to get up at 4am if I want to hit the gym before work (between work plus commute, going after is a no-go most days). This means I have to hit the sack by 10pm if I want 6 hours of sleep, and there's really no way I can be in bed by 8pm for a full 8 hours, between work, commute, cooking dinner, helping my daughter with homework, and spending at least a little time with my wife. I used to be lucky to get 5 hours a night; about a month or so before the challenge started I began trying to stick to 6 hours, and thus it naturally became my healthy habit focus for this challenge. So far I'm hitting the 6-hr mark more often than not, but still not all the time as it's easy to lose track of time in the evening.

    Not everyone needs 8 hours a night. Like you in general I'm 5 to 6 hours a night. GOOD JOB on working on hitting the 6 hr mark!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!
