Feat
Sleep Log
The unexamined slumber, is still worth sleeping. AND YET, you might be surprised at how the act of tracking your sleeping hours shifts their quantity and/or quality. To complete this feat, you must keep track of the time you sleep each night of the challenge. While you're at it, you may wish to note any dreams you've had, or other relevant color commentary. As "sleep" you may count all the time you spend in bed, with the lights out, eyes shut, and trying to sleep, regardless of whether you have actually drifted off. (Of course, you may want to keep separate accounts of time in bed vs. time actually asleep.) FYI: Were you to sleep for eight hours a night over the 32 nights of the challenge, you would sleep 256 hours. We'll give you a bonus for anything over 224 hours, which is an average seven hours a night. Final note: While you are welcome to post your hour count and color commentary to the site, this is not strictly required. Some people may wish for greater confidentiality around this information, (which some day soon we hope to be able to offer).

haha i dreamt that one of my students didn't get his visa to go to spain. and i went through all kinds of trouble to help him out and he kept sabotaging me and himself.
i think i need a vacation longer than a couple weeks...clearly i'm traumatized.

My sleep habits are totally trashed -- I fall asleep on sofa at 8PM, wake up at midnight or 1, drag myself to bed, fall asleep again, and then up at 6AM. I'm pretty sure that this is not a good thing. I also take naps on days off, but I'll keep those -- they're so luxurious, so civilized! Will track night-time sleep, though, try to do one long stretch, instead of two shorter stretches.

mmm sleep. i typically get about 8 hours a night, unless there's something bothering me. then i'll lay awake. sometimes i'll read to pass the time.

I just realized this was for the month not the week. I am so having trouble with keeping the challenges straight this month. sigh. I suck. I have been keeping track anyway since Monday but not blogging...I'll start blogging again. Now I really have to earn this Feat Accompli because I don't want to be one of those jerks that checks prematurely - but here I am... humiliated

Get back to sleep tips.

Katie was in my dream and said that this was the last challenge edition. There was also a SW event/challenge in a swimming pool on top of a skyscraper.

Is it sad that I am barely going to cross the 200 hour mark by the 13th? I'm only at a woeful 186 now..
Submitted by Evangeline on 02.08.10 at 10:54.
I have averaged 6 -7 hours a night through out the challenge. Except on Saturdays which I get a solid 8 to 9 hours.

I love the function on my new Fitbit. It tracks my sleep. I've had it since late November. It was shocking to see the actual time I am asleep versus the time in bed. This is definitely something I will continue tracking.
Submitted by lhlady517 on 02.09.10 at 11:09.
I averaged 7.867 hours in bed and 7.164 hours asleep over this challenge. I definitely thought I spelt more than this, but considering the crazy hours I've been working maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
Submitted by swell1 on 02.11.10 at 03:03.
Close to 25.
I claim the bonus.
Submitted by @HereNow on 02.11.10 at 10:36.
Looks like I get about 5.5 to 6 hours of sleep on weeknights and 8 or 9 on weekends. I might need to work on evening that out....
Submitted by liz on 02.12.10 at 07:59.
258.5 hours of sleep from Jan 11-Feb 12.

I am a power sleeper and I clocked 280 hours over the challenge!!!! This keeps me alert and productive during the day :)
Submitted by greengirl20 on 02.12.10 at 11:08.
261 hours of sleep...manage somewhere around 7 hours a night and I'm still tired all the time! I didn't really change my habits. Work schedules & stuff to do just keeps me up late. :-/
Submitted by lrcat22 on 02.12.10 at 11:43.
Just under 248hrs. I did notice that when my boyfriend was out of town for a week, I slept better. Not necessarily longer, but better. Hmmmm.
Submitted by babarbanel on 02.12.10 at 12:11.
Completed! 250 hours total, but it varied widely from way too little, to lots to make up. I also kept track of whether I woke up in the middle of the night, which I discovered happens to me a lot! Wondering how to remedy this... Anyway, it was a useful exercise!
Submitted by neversent on 02.12.10 at 02:31.
At what point does someone become officially nocturnal? Through this feat I have discovered that I get around 6 hours of sleep per night, and even on the weekends I cannot make myself sleep more than 7.75 hours. This cannot be normal - can it? My total for the challenge: 213 hours. Compared to everyone above, it appears I get the least. I don't even drink caffeine - so its not like I can cut that out. Have to find a solution to this. Glad I discovered how sleep deprived I am.
