First, a confession.
I have a handy, dandy app on my phone that tracks sleep and it's effectiveness. So for an experiment, I tracked my sleep last week. Out of 56 possible hours of sleep, I actually laid in bed trying to sleep for only 44.3 hours. So at the very maximum I was 11.6 hours short last week of the sleep I should have (and needed) to have gotten.
Why do I confess this? Well, I was a big wifezilla/sisterzilla last week (REALLY, REALLY sorry Daniel and Pat!) And how can I expect Patrick to make sweeping changes in his life when I can't even handle a little thing that makes me feel good like getting enough sleep.
I have tried quite a few different things, but haven't been able to change so far. I heard a great quote in one of my classes this week that I want to put to the test. She said "Everyday you get to decide again who and what you will be." I know that I don't want to be a wifezilla anymore and I need some help.
And I know that there are some specific steps to change.
1. recognizing your problem
2. admitting your problem
3. changing your habits
4. accountability
5. acknowledging your success
So now I can check off one and two from this list. But I need help with 3 and by posting this here, I am asking for you all to help hold me accountable (check 4 off list). Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that might help? Does anyone want to be my accountability partner or participate in a challenge here?
Maybe those of you who are really good about getting enough sleep can share some suggestions with those of us who are deficient in this category. :) And those that fall in the bandwagon with me could join me in the challenge?
