Sleep to HealthCatherine Crinigan

Problem/Rational Often feel sick, especially at end of week.

Feel better during the weekend

Often going to sleep at midnight and waking up by

6am.

Used to strictly monitor sleep, felt better then.

Other contributing issues too much to fix quickly.

Solutions Tested Made a chart to check off each day that I slept at least

7 hours.

Desire to meet goals, seriously bothered if can’t

No strong desire for other rewards

Ice cream

Monitor time closely, start getting ready for bed earlier.

Accidentally working on other contributing factors:

eating, vitamins, etc.

Results Subjective: Feelings better

Felt strong need to be able to check off box.

One day couldn’t, sad face instead (still needed to fill box)

Got it closer to 7 hours

Can’t sleep at 9:00 pm

Weekends difficult to control.

Overall, made me want to be healthier

Conclusions Strong connection between eating/sleeping/vitamins

and overall health.
