Commitments
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 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 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!
I just started nursing school and this year has not been easy. Sometimes I just end up staying up because after the busy day I wont feel satisfied if I dont get some time to play game or watch tv. I need to sleep and I'll prioritize other things. I commit to put an alarm at 10:00 to do a nighttime routine during the workweek. This way I can sleep better and function ...
I will sleep 7 or more hours daily. I will meditate and do deep breathing at least twice daily.
While in school I did not get a lot of sleep, so I never felt fully rested while in class. For work, I strive to get a full night of sleep to provide the best patient care I can. Also so I can feel fresh, and fully rested.
I will sleep for 8 hours continuously in every 24 hour period.
I am committed to creating a better sleep routine, with a regular wind down and bedtime.
I'm pledging to take sleep more seriously. Sounds kind of funny, but I've always had trouble falling and staying asleep. I'm going to begin a nighttime routine where I'm off my phone at least one hour before bedtime, don't eat a big meal anytime close to bedtime and try to get to bed the same time each night for at least a week.
I am committing to finding a way to get 8 hours of sleep each night.
I am making a commitment to get at least 7 hours of sleep in every night.
I am making a commitment to start a bedtime routine. I am going to turn off electronics at 2145, take a hot shower, and go to bed by 2215 every night so I can get up at 0545 and sleep well.
I have a busy lifestyle with working 2 jobs, attending sports activities for my sons, working out etc. I need to get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep per day.
My smart goal is to go to bed everyday this week by 8:30 pm and wake up at the same time every morning for the month of January. I want to get a full 8 hours of sleep every night for four weeks.
