No Screen Time At Least An Hour Before Bed

I am going to commit to leave my phone charging in a different room and opt for doing something else. Maybe journal or ... more

I agree Sue. I have the same issue. On my days off, I tend to stay up later than usual which I think is interfering with my sleep the day before work. I try and hit the 8 hour mark, but sometimes it will end up being 6 hours when I work the next day and I do feel it for the 12 hours I work.

I commit to getting 8-9 hours of sleep each night no matter what!

This area is a struggle for me especially after doing 28 years of nights. I go to bed early before my scheduled shifts but when I don’t have to work I stay up way too late even though I’m tired. I get about six hours a night.
