This week, I accomplished my goal of sleeping eight hours every day! I've been losing some sleep here and there, but I managed to get the bed early enough every day of the week. Feels much better to be rested enough and have the energy to do things!

I feel this! It's amazing how sleep can affect so many things: your mood, your work ethic, your happiness meter. :)

I really need to work on sleeping early. I try to do some reading before going to sleep but I get so engrossed that it goes on till midnight. Sometimes I get to an interesting part and it even goes past midnight. I need to restrain myself.

I'm the same, but classic books usually do it for me. It can even take me months to finish one because I usually start yawning from the third page 😂

I do the same with non-fiction books 😂. A few minutes into a chapter and I start feeling sleepy. I take so long finishing such books 😆

I really need to do this...

I hit the big 4-0 a few months ago and I'm getting too old to subsist on six or less hours of sleep a day. Played Subnautica on the PS4 till gone midnight on Wednesday night and was yawning my way through Thursday.

Man I feel you on that one! I pulled a long shift for the first time in AGES on Tuesday and it cost me...

Oof yeah. Video games were too much of a timesink for me and my sleep has been much better without them.
