How long have you been participating in the Clock Your Sleep project?:

2-3 weeks

Has your sleep changed since you started tracking it?:

Yes, in another way

How your sleep has changed:

I had already managed to get an average of 7 hours of sleep before. But now I am practicing the routine of a regular bed time and wake up time. And I am really enjoying the benefits of waking up earlier and often times without an alarm too.

What did you learn about your sleep patterns once you started tracking them?:

I have been tracking sleep for 2+ years so far and I learned that although feeling refreshed should be its own reward, but seeing progress in a data plot is really encouraging and motivating in itself. The gamification of sleep has not gotten boring yet even after 2 years. And the WNYC competitive sleep has been even more fun.

Have you tried to change any of your behavior as a result of this study?:

I hope to maintain my regular bed time and wake times. It has interfered with social life, though, so I need to see how well I can engage with friends earlier.

Tell us how the Clock Your Sleep project is going.
