A got a gift of one of these smart health band things recently and I have been fascinated with the sleep tracker...
Since I got this thing I have been trying to get a 100 score (not sure if even possible on this app) and have noticed a lot of interesting things about sleep:
- My sleep score highly correlates with the quality of my day
While you can turn any day around when I wake up after a 98/99 sleep I am on fire. I am super sharp, focused, and fresh.
Once my score gets below 95 I can start to see some issues. I am more easily distracted, I take longer to do certain tasks, quality of some work drops etc.
- Drinking a lot of water or eating late in the evening was impacting deep sleep
Probably seems obvious but I had overlooked this. With the 75 hard challenge, I was drinking water well into the evening.
But even one glass near bedtime meant I either had to get up to use the bathroom or my brain wanted too = quality of sleep drops.
- Meditation before bed helps a lot to wind down
I have been using headspace and I get a much deeper, more relaxing sleep.
- No phones/devices for 2 hours before bed
I have tested this and make a massive difference too. We kinda all know this but when you see the data stack up it hits home.
- No heavy reading before bed
This one was something I had overlooked also. If I read some great business book before bed my brain was still in thinking mode and took a lot of time to wind down. Now I try to unplug from everything around 7-7:30 and give myself 2 hours to relax.
- You look better and are more social if you sleep well
This is massive - my eyes, voice, movements, "charisma" > all are better when I sleep well.
Actually at the summit this year I was sleeping terribly and felt a lot of anxiety/stress during the days - I think this was a massive part of it.
When I sleep well I am much more social and just feel and look better overall.
That is it for now but for just a few dollars you can pick one of these things up and start seeing what you can improve.
We all know to sleep better but having real stats helps you make progress.
What gets measured gets done.
Hope this helps. I highly recommend you start tracking this.
