Sleep after Whole Life Challenge


In bed shortly after 12 and awake about 5. Almost 5 hours of sleep. Work on getting to 6. Work on more concerts too. If really a nerd, go find some articles about whether music can clear out head and settle things as well as sleep.

 

Further meditations

 

No computers except phone after the classical guitar concert. Note to self: need to up the consumption of concerts and remind myself how much they mean. Would like to up the quantity of classical music around me the rest of the time too. Barriers include home environment and all the electronic voices  / sounds I depend on for the rest of life. I like music in the room not in my headphones. Actually I do not like headphones either but oh whine.

Done with #wholelifechallenge.  Hopefully back to more consistent data collection here. Also tweeted about stuff I was not sure teammates cared about but that might be topical for other strands of my life. Plus Twitter handles autorotate just fine AND there is the general point of collecting more data than just the scores. Probably if I read more about WLC I would read the part about journaling. And it’s the internet age so one can journal / blog more publicly…

 

Probably will sign up for another round. Dare I see if my mom is interested? She will need some technological handholding. Plus she might have same reaction I do to all the super thin healthy visuals.  It would be nice to envision workplaces that are diverse agewise and where health management / health support / health info apps reflect the needs of people at different ages.

 

If I do it again, I might need two teams. How does that work?

Some stuff it could be fine for both teams to see. Other stuff not so much. Plus a pain to type on phone with no autorotate, but I have phone in hand more than keyboard. Note to self: Orbit braille???

 

WILL write a blog post or two or three.

 

Will keep noting stuff about #nutrition. May even get around to reading the WLC food guidelines.

 

Will also keep noting stuff about #exercise . The breezeway is handy and no excuse for not making time if I cannot work in any other movement. I definitely feel better and sleep more and it is easier to skip stupid food things if I am well exercised.

 

Enough for now.

Holy Cow. Almost 9 hours of sleep. The extravagant luxury of going back to bed and not even trying to do anything after 5.9 hours of sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable hour because of not wanting to compute in the computer lab with no AC helped.  I decided I needed to get up and eat a real breakfast after a dream involving my certainty that I needed to take a shower in a tiny restroom near a big event of some kind and then enjoying a lot of food that I found tasty and it was not clear whether others realized it was available. I probably can go all kinds of places with that. Computer lab has AC. Room where digital equity team works does not. There is some kind of switching mystery that not even one of the very wise SHA HVAC experts can solve. Nice to see the computer lab space in use. And for exercise I will ride under desk bike to nowhere for awhile at an hour too late to be a good idea. Also I MUST scrub floor and wrangle refrigerator life forms. Count how many days I say that be...

About six hours of sleep. I should have gone back to bed. CPAP is a little bit of a workout but I think that will settle down. Mom's tree after all the presents were unwrapped Christmas with the fam went brilliantly.  First there was a chauffeur schedule that left me time to talk to Mom about latest non-locating of my brother while nephew fetched his parents. We did snack food and did not even attempt anything complex in Mom's "one-butt kitchen" Little Sister brought Little Smokies, one pan in a sauce I did not expect to tolerate made of commercial BBQ sauce and grape jelly. Little sister brought rolls and fruit salad. I brought crackers, cream cheese, beet chips and celery the latter of which I think I was the only one eating. So the rest of the bunch gets sauted and frozen for soup.  I brought yams to microwave if anyone wanted but kitchen logistics clobbered that. And we finished with mandarins and no one even wanted cookies and ice cream. Mostly I am SO GLAD Mom d...
