Did you get your Fitbit set up yesterday? Hope you managed to get a good night's sleep.

Wouldn't it be great if we had some tips on staying asleep!!!

Morning all, I had another good night of sleep - 6hrs 20mins. I need to try to continue with this amount during the week. Doesn't help that I work nights.

6hrs 34mins - happy with that!

Glad you have found something that works for you to some extent. I have tried an eye mask) and ear plugs) and I felt claustrophobic so didn't continue trying them out. You could try a bed time routine that helps you quiet your racing mind. Meditation maybe? I know you have done yoga for sleeping. Which reminds me, I have…

@DresdenSinn - I have just upped my exercise from one hour a day to two hours a day. Hoping that will help make me tired. May have to consider changing the times I exercise too. Seeing how many calories you burn in an hour, I think I am doing the wrong types of exercise as I don't burn a fraction of what you do. I…

Only 2hrs 39 mins for me today! Not good I know. Will aim to make up for it tomorrow!

Way to go @corinasue1143 - 8 hours!!!!! Fab!!!

@DEBOO7 we feel you on that! Hang in there and don't give up. We have found that although we have bad nights when we only get a few hours sleep, when we focus and make the effort to do all we can we can get a good 6+ hours we succeed. Do you know your reasons for not sleeping much? Distractions? Not tired?

4hrs 52mins sleep for me 49 mins of which was deep sleep. An improvement from the day before but still not good enough. I have challenged myself to sleep for a minimum of 6 hours without fail for the next 10 days. Would be great to have that in one go but I know I need to be realistic so I will aim to do that with…

@brittdee88 hope you managed to get an early night and had a good sleep. Will be interesting to see if you felt like you slept well without having your Fitbit tracking your sleep.

@DresdenSinn wow over 9 hours - you are steadily becoming my hero! That's brilliant. Your body obviously needed the extra hours. I am starting to wonder if maybe I am not doing the right types of exercise to tire me out. I may need to consider changing it up a bit. Can I ask what time of the day do you do all your…

Only 3hrs 32 mins sleep - not good at all.

@DresdenSinn - over 7 hours sleep two nights running that's brilliant. Plus you are getting a nice balance of deep and light sleep. I dream of having this type of sleep - oh one day!!!! I have faith that it will happen I just need to keep working on it.

@brittdee88 I feel your pain - being a light sleeper can be so frustrating as the slightest thing disturbs our sleep which also results in not having much deep sleep. I am going to try to make myself exhausted before I go to bed to see if that helps me get a deeper sleep.

Well I slept for 6hrs 12 mins (51 mins deep sleep). I am happy for over 6 hours. Still not getting it in one sleep - slept for 4hrs 33mins then hours later slept for 1hr 39mim. I will get there eventually!

@corinasue1143 - go girl! You are definitely on your way to making it a habit :) 8 hours sleep is brilliant. @brittdee88 7hrs 40mins was good - how did you get on last night? @DresdenSinn - where are you? You are missed! Hope it's because you are busy and getting lots of sleep that you haven't been on to post. I look…

6hrs 5mins last night but only 49 mins of deep sleep - not good enough. I actually woke up feeling really tired.

I have been researching also about getting more deep sleep but not finding anything that can help with that :/ .

@corinasue1143 proud of you - you have been doing so much better. @brittdee88 can you imagine needing 11 hours sleep to feel rested! You have been doing well so keep doing what you are doing. Having a bedtime routine will surely help. I am aiming to do likewise. Hope you are feeling much better now. @rachelleahsmom - what…

Everyone is doing so well - we need to keep at it. We will have the odd days when it's not great but we are doing so much better than the beginning of the month. Next we have to follow @DresdenSinn and get more deep sleep. I have no idea how we are going to do it but I have faith we will. I have been looking at my pattern…

21 days to make it a habit. Lol! I think you should go for it!! :)

Managed 5hrs 55mins so was 5 mins short of my goal of 6 hours! :( Will try to make up for it tomorrow. Would be lovely if I could sleep straight through and not have to do my sleep in stages. Oh well, at least I am getting some sleep.

@brittdee88 - I am currently at work but will respond properly tomorrow.

I have already had 3hrs sleep today but am hoping I can have 3-4 sleep this afternoon. Here's hoping! I really must try to get my sleep in one go rather than in lots of little naps. I had better put that yoga for sleeping video on!!

@brittdee88 oh dear that does not sound good. What's keeping you up until 3am? Are you distracted by phone/tv/books or is it just that you are not tired and don't want to sleep yet? I can relate to that as, my body is not used to sleeping at night so it won't wind down after dark even if I am not working at night.

@corinasue1143 - glad your 5 hours sleep was good but you need to aim for a bit more. Interesting that you felt like you could have had some more. Pity you had to get up.

@DresdenSinn what a brilliant night's sleep you had. It's great that you managed over 4 hours of deep sleep. Even though you woke up twice it's great that you were able to fall back asleep again. Made me smile reading you woke yourself up because you were laughing. Glad something was tickling your fancy in your dream.

I only managed 3hrs and 31mins sleep today - not good

@DresdenSinn you are continuing to be consistent with your sleep which is fantastic.
