#3  By procrastinating you are allowing your to-do list to grow and grow into an intimidating amount of work. Once all that work has piled up, it will be even harder to motivate yourself to get started. 

#4- The blue light emitted by screens on cell phones, computers, tablets, and televisions restrain the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep/wake cycle or circadian rhythm. Reducing melatonin makes it harder to fall and stay asleep. 

#5- Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual. A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep.

 MY SLEEP JOURNAL 

 


4/02/19- 5 hours ,I believe it was me coming home from football weightlifting+training on my own that made me tired and feel lazy which prolonged my ability to do the work I needed to get done which in the process pushed my sleep time back.

4/03/19- 6 hours  What slowed me down today was me not being disciplined on myself enough to stay focus on my tasks at hand and me just slouching being lazy on my phone. Which in the end messed up some further I could have received.

4/04/19- 6 hours 11:15 , I was in bed by 10:30  which was a plus but phone time endured my awake time. But when I actually got up from bed I felt good.

4/08/19- 7 hours which was great a whole half an hour improvement and It helped me wake up even earlier. And made me feel good getting out of bed the following morning. 

4/09/19- 6 hours but that was a good time since I could sleep in late because of the SAT s happening for the Juniors and Seniors. So I truly woke up around 9 in the morning.

 

4/10/19- 6 hours  was not my ideal time but I did get around 6 hours which was good enough to last me in the morning and my state testing for Ohio. 

4/11/19- 6 hours , and to wake up earlier than usual because I had a leadership meeting to go to for football at 6:45 am.

4/15/19- 6 hours but I was in bed around 10:10 but my phone once again distracted me. But I felt enough energy to feel good throughout the day.

4/16/19- 6 hours  which was an ok but not great time for me to go to bed. Especially since I had a test.

4/17/19- 5 hours, because I had came home late with my mom from running errands  . I did not  accomplish my goal.

4/18/19-  7 hours which was an ideal time for me to go to bed. With me also feeling great when waking up in the morning.

4/22/19- 4 hours  in the morning which was a horrible time and resulted in me missing the school bus and I regret it very much.

4/23/19- 6 hours, which is not good but way better than yesterday and I actually made the bus.

4/24/19- 5 hours  I wanted to wish an happy anniversary to my girlfriend and my mom told me she would give me a ride. 

4/25/19- 5 hours  because I had to help my sister move into her new place. But I was able to get up and make the bus.
