Week 15: Get Eight Hours of Sleep Nightly

Get 8 Hours of Sleep Every Day. Gosh. Was this week hard or what?

It sounds so simple on paper; Get 8 hours of sleep… but for me, this was probably one of the hardest challenges that I’ve done for a weekly challenge! I have always had a problem with getting to sleep on time, I remember getting in trouble when I was a little girl for staying up and giggling with my older sister.

Nothing’s really changed 😂

This week when I tried to accomplish this I knew I needed help. Armed with melatonin and a sleep mask, I fought hard to try and sleep every night.

It wasn’t a surprise when the nights that I was able to get 8 hours of sleep I felt much more aware throughout the day, and the days that I didn’t reach my goal I noticed a significant difference in my memory and attitude. Sleep is so important for everyone, and this was such a good reminder for me that this needs to be a priority instead of a luxury.

I really hope to be better about my sleeping habits in the future, and I hope that I can continue to improve myself !
