I made a New Year's resolution earlier this year to sleep earlier. I also set a running goal for myself. #1401058
Last month's post. #1424150
In February, I had less bedtime violations compared to January. The aim is to sleep at 10:30pm with a hard cutoff at 11:30pm. Anything past 11:30pm considers as a violation and is met with a punishment of doing 200 push ups the next day. February's violations were:
- Feb 1, 11:50pm
- Feb 8, 12:30am
- Feb 15, 12:30am
- Feb 25, 12:30am
For runs, I crushed the goal of running 100km each month and also made progress towards the "nice to have" goal of reaching 1000 miles by the end of the year. I ran a total of 142.6km in February. Here is the running summary for the month.
In terms of alcohol consumption, I had 1 can of 355mL beer and 1 shot of whiskey in the month of February. Still not zero yet and will try to work on that in March.
I'm less intolerant than you are about the violation, hehe, so I'd rather hear what your average time of bed was... Are you sort of, mostly hitting your goal?
You mean before I set the resolution? I've been mostly going to bed at about 12:30am-1:30am, sometimes 2am. The unhealthy thing is that I wake up at 6am, latest 6:30am, everyday. So I was constantly lacking sleep.
If you're asking my average after I've set the resolution, bedtime was mostly 11:30pm (yes, pushed to as late as possible without violations), with a few rare occasions when it was 10:30pm-10:45pm.
So, to answer your question, I'm not hitting the goal of 10:30pm and I still need a lot of work, haha.
So the goal doesn't motivate you, but the threat of (self-imposed) punishment does?
The earliest I went to bed in February was 1am. The latest was 4:30am.
To be fair, you were in the middle of moving houses. Packing and unpacking takes time.
