Crinigan--Sleep DIY

1. Sleep to Health
Catherine Crinigan

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. Conclusions
 Strong connection between eating/sleeping/vitamins
and overall health.
 Continue chart
 Importance of being aware of how actions influence
health.
