1. Step one is to set a goal. My goal for this project is to start having a sleeping schedule i picked this topic for my project because at the most i tend to get 4-5 hours night of sleep. My goal is to have a weekly sleeping schedule , id like to get a minimum of 7 hours a night considering the amount an average adult should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep.
2. Even though monday through friday i have an alarm set for 8 am i still tend to sleep around 2:30-3:00am each night. Some nights i fall asleep an hour or two earlier but, then i will wake up an hour or two earlier then my alarm clock. I will monitor my sleeping schedule by counting how many hours a sleep I receive.
3. I have a few My setting events. My biggest one that i turn on the the TV and put on my favorite shows as soon as i get in bed, i get so into the shows that i will start binge watching and watch 2-4 episodes right after another. The days i don’t get in bed to watch TV i stay out late either at the library or a relatives house, then wont even get home or in bed till 1 am. Another thing that i do is shower before bed no matter what time it is, and im not sure about others but i tend to be more awake after a shower. Lastly another setting event of mine is going on my phone really late at night and scroll through scroll through social media
4. I am going to have consequences for myself such as if I don’t get a minim of 7 hours a night of sleep i am not going to not allow my self to watch my favorite shows that air once a week on TV, so if I don’t reach my goal i will be missing out on my show that airs that week and will have to wait till the following week to watch it, which i hate very much.
5. Im going to make sure i stay on track by understanding the better benefits that will have to my life style resulting from getting a better and longer nights sleep.
