Commitment to Rest

I am committed to prioritizing rest and creating a balanced routine that supports my well-being. By focusing on consistent sleep, mindful relaxation, and taking regular breaks, I aim to recharge both mentally and physically. This commitment will help me stay focused, energized, and more productive in all aspects of my life.

As a student currently going through night shift clinical rotations, I have really struggled on resting and doing something I enjoy. With three weeks left of rotations, I want to make sure I am sleeping at least 7 hours and reading a chapter of my most recent book before attending my night shift rotations.

Unfortunately due to the large amount of reading we do as nursing students, I have lost interest in books that even require less brainpower than a text book. For the next month, I commit to taking time and immersing myself back into books of my choosing to give my brain a rest from school work and get back into hobbies I enjoy.

I am making a commitment to sleep 8hrs every day.

I am making a commitment to go to sleep no later than 9:30 or 10:00 pm on weeknights (and potentially weekends as well!) so that I can be well rested after waking up at 6:30 for school and 5:30 for work. I hope that having a more consistent sleep schedule of at least 8 hours will help my body and mind :)

I am making a commitment to go to bed no later than 10:30 every night and not sleep past 8:30 in the morning, giving me 9-10 hours of sleep. I hope that this will make me more productive.

I am committed to start a new sleep routine I am committed to starting a healthier sleep routine that allows me to rest better and have a good performance in classes. I plan to sleep an average of 6–6 1/2 hours and compare the difference between sleeping enough amounts of hours and not sleeping well at all. I would like to change for good my routine and start ...

I am committing to practice a regular routine before bed so that I can get more and better quality sleep. Per recommendations I am going to complete a small task before bed to help relax myself. I will aim to be in bed before 10:30 PM.

I will make sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep 5 days out of the week. I will do this by setting alarms to remind me when to stop my daily tasks.

I commit to putting my health as a priority over work. This includes doing daily yoga in the morning and a light jog also going to the gym daily. I will commit to eating healthy for the sake of longevity and will not consume alcohol to alleviate my stress.

I commit to rest and recuperate. Nursing school can be very demanding and stressful especially with night clinical. I vow to take one day a week to rest and reset for the coming week. I can watch a movie do some self care and prep meals for the busy week to come. 

I commit to reading books I enjoy other than only reading nursing textbooks. Often in nursing school I have forgotten to read books I enjoy rather than only reading for school. So I commit to reading one book I enjoy a month at least to give my brain a break. 

I commit to resting my mind outside of nursing. I am used to reading textbooks frequently for studying but have forgotten about reading for fun. My commitment is to read for enjoyment at least one book a month. This is to give my brain a rest from nursing school and improve my overall mental health. Providing yourself with a mental break is just as important ...

I commit to taking more time to read and relax before bedtime. Nursing school, my job and my social life have kept me very busy for the last few years, leading me to neglect adequate rest periods. Committing myself to reading more and developing a rest routine before bed will be overall beneficial for my life. 

Like many here, nursing school takes a toll on the amount of rest I get. I am very fortunate to be on a strict 9 hour sleeping schedule, but of course resting is more than just sleeping! Outside of sleeping, I really enjoy reading and cuddling with my dog. At the start of this semester, I set a goal to read at least one book every week. Fortunately for me, my ...

Life has been hectic the last few years. My kids are young (6 & 9) but involved in all the sports under the sun. My partner and I both work full-time at the university. For the past three years, we've also been finishing our doctoral degrees together and finally get to walk across the stage in May. With my dissertation finished, I feel weird and almost guilty ...

I commit to trying my best to get at least 6 hours of sleep. With the overstimulation of my phone, TV, and computer I usually try to unwind for bed by reading a book. I am reading through the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, it's enjoyably dense and usually does the trick to calm my brain. 

I am committed to investing in rest from school. I will do things outside of school that bring me mental rest such as finishing the book series called Red Queen. 

I am committed to getting 6-8 hours of sleep, since I have been averaging 4-5. 

I commit to resting at least 7-8 hours per night/day so I am well-rested and am able to give excellent patient care for clinical each shift.

I commit to not overworking myself by reserving a set amount of time of the day for a break to reduce mental and physical exhaustion.

I commit to getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep per night so that I am able to be well-rested for work or my clinical shift the following day. 

I have a health and wellness goal that I am currently working towards. My goal is to prioritize better sleep habits and ensure I get a sufficient amount of quality sleep each night. I have realized the impact that sleep has on my overall well-being, including my energy levels, mood, and cognitive functioning. To achieve this goal, I have committed to ...

I know sleep is the foundation of all physical and mental health. I would even say it is a platform for spiritual health as well, if we count prayer and dreaming as sleep activities.  And I know  people should get 8 hrs or so of sleep ( which i usually do).  However, some of my activities prior to bed time are not allowing me to sleep through the night, ie sipping ...

My committement is to work on getting more rest than I'm getting now  

I commit to getting the necessary 8 hours of sleep each night in order for my mind and body to function properly 

I  am committed to rest. I prioritize every aspect of my life over resting so I am committed to getting in bed no later than 10:00pm and taking a glass of water to bed to encourage me to drink more water. I am also committed to turning electronics off 1 hour before I am ready to go to bed which will hopefully improve the quality of my sleep.  

I am choosing to commit to taking intentional time to rest every day. This time will be purposeful and will allow a daily reset. It could be taking a nap, listening to music, or just sitting in silence!

I am committed to letting myself enjoy down time. While being in nursing school the feeling of not being “productive” can feel like I’m being lazy, when in reality I am allowed to have down time and enjoy it.

My commitment is to sleep 8 hours every day. Too many days where I have gone into clinicals or class with 5 or less hours of sleep. I will do this by doing my homework and hanging out with friends and having everything done by 10 PM.

My commitment is to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night and spend time with the people and things I love to decompress after work. 

I sleep when I can, nap when I can.

I am committing to getting 8 hours of sleep every night by setting screen time limitations on my phone by 10 pm and scheduling downtime on my phone so I do not receive notifications between 10 pm and 7 am.  

Will try to target 8 hours of sleep and sleep early. When you have kids and when they're sleep earlier than you do, you kinda want that peace and time for yourself. But I will try to sleep the same time they sleep because when I get more sleep, I have more energy and my day becomes more productive.

Health and wellness cannot be fully realized until we embrace the idea of sleep

After ten years of living on the edge in the fast lane every day, I will commit to feeling ok with a calm mind. My body has reached exhaustion, and I have managed to push past it; with three babies and nursing school, perseverance is all I know. It is now time not to feel guilty when I sit and relax but rather embrace the chaos little children bring and learn all is ...

I commit to getting 8 hours of sleep 5 days a week.

I commit to leaving my phone off at least 1-2 hours before I fall asleep at night. I tend to scroll through social media, watch Netflix, or call people before I fall asleep. Putting my phone away will allow my body to rest from both blue light and stimulating activities. I will read, pray, or journal instead.

I commit to setting aside time every day for meaningful rest. Not halfway-resting, where I sort-of work and sort-of relax, but even just 30 minutes of genuine relaxation either listening to music, stretching, taking a nap, or reading my Bible. Remembering that my body needs rest to function, and meaningful rest is productive!

I am committing to a better work life balance professionally working on chart/log goals on the go and destressing activities to put my hamster wheel mind at ease in hopes to gain mroe quality time, sleep, and feel more energetic and fulfilled during my workdays of travel and patient and clinician visits. I imagine there are a few out there that can relate ...

I commit to one minute of meditation a day.

I commit to go to bed by 10:30 Pm when I work the next day. And 11:30 Pm when I am off the next day. I will advocate for myself to my family to free me of any responsibilities late at night. I commit to complete simple self care routine before bed. 

I commit to establishing a consistent sleep schedule where I will be in bed by 10:30 every night for the next 30 days.

I will commit to getting at least 8 hours of sleep at night. 

I will develop and practice a sleep schedule that enables openness for healthier emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to improve my overall health

I will increase my average nightly hours of sleep to at least 7 by starting a nightly sleep hygiene routine that will begin one hour before my self assigned bedtime.  

I will take 15 minutes each day to enjoy quiet meditation.

I wish to get 8 hours of sleep. I have not been able to easily drift into sleep lately. I am a nursing student and still trying to get used to online learning. I could cut down on screen time before bed. I could take a hot shower before bed and sip some tea. My goal is to sleep at 9 and wake up at 5 in the morning!
