I will extend my hours of sleep by 1 additional hours-totaling 6 hours a day.  I plan to make these changes by: * dimming the lights 45 minutes prior to sleep *eating dinner before 8pm for proper digestion before sleep * preparing things for the following day in earlier part of the evening to lower stress and increase rest.

I will prioritize my sleep in order to get the recommended 7-9 hours a night so that I can give my best each day.  This will take better planning and staying on top of assignments so that I can go to sleep and wake up at decent hours.
