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!
