    Okay. I got more than 7 hours but less than 8 last night. This was my first night getting that much sleep, but oddly I was more tired today compared to the days when I got little sleep. :huh: Gonna try and get at least 7 tonight.

    I got 5.5 hours of sleep last night. The twins woke up super early this morning and of course they just had to come wake me too. :laugh:

    I'm in. It will not be easy though. Lately, I've had good intentions of going to bed early and before I know it, its after 1 in the morning, lol!

    That happens to me all the time! :laugh:

    Checkin' in. Tomorrow's the day! I actually DO have a good sleep schedule...I go to bed regularly at 9:30pm, getting up at about 4am. HOWEVER, lately I've been waking up too much. I'm dehydrated I think! Or whatever. Anyway, my quality of sleep could use a tune-up.

    You have such an interesting schedule! :smile: What do you do at 4 am? Do you have quiet time for yourself? Do you start breakfast for the family? Do you have a farm? My dad has a farm and he gets up early every morning. I need a new schedule. What I am doing now is totally not working.

    My oh My WHERE is everybody.....still sleeping? Good job!
    I slept well, and even got outta bed at my usual time--4AM
    I slept much better since I drank a ton of water yesterday.

    I need to work on drinking more water. TheMMan has suggested a water challenge this summer. We will have in June.

    I got to sleep late last night (husband's fault :heart: ) Couldn't be helped! :love: But I took a nap today. Tonight I'll try to keep the family all headed to bed when they get home from bible studies.

    Sometimes it's truly worth getting to sleep late. :blushing:

    Tuesday night and last night were about the same around 5.5 hours each. I always have good intentions to get to bed earlier, but it never pans out. Going to try again this evening!

    Hang in there! :flowerforyou:

    I drank a ton of water today, this is important, because otherwise I wake up thirsty!

    How much water do you typically drink each day?

    I'm finding that water intake is the key to my restful sleep. I am still not consistent about drinking adequate water, so I started tracking it by hand again (tick mark on a card).

    Aww, thanks Melkadee for all the support! I think I am right along with you on the success rate. it seems that Friday night is the only time I get anywhere near seven hours I'm gonna see what I can do with these last 10 days.

    Wishing all of you success on this challenge.

    This challenge really made me realize just how little sleep I get. I will continue to work on getting more sleep because it is so important to my overall health. Thanks a bunch guys! This challenge was different.
