One week in, and guess what? I haven’t missed a single 10:00 p.m. bedtime! Okay, maybe there were a couple of nights where it stretched to 10:02, but hey, progress is progress, right?
Seriously though, this first week has been surprisingly positive. I definitely feel a difference:
- Sharper Focus: My brain fog seems to be lifting! I can concentrate better on tasks, and that afternoon crash I used to experience is a thing of the past.
- More Awake: No more dragging through the day feeling like a half-deflated balloon. I have more energy to tackle my daily activities.
- Improved (But Still Improving) Sleep: While some nights were still a bit restless, overall, my sleep quality is on an upward trend. This might be due to the fact that…
- CPAP Time! I finally decided to dust off my CPAP machine (thanks for the gentle reminder, brain!). Hopefully, this will significantly improve my sleep quality in the coming weeks.
Now, here’s the surprising bonus for someone with cerebral palsy like myself:
- Less Stomach Trouble: I’ve noticed a decrease in those pesky stomach issues that used to plague me.
- Bathroom Breaks Reduced: Who knew getting enough sleep could also mean fewer trips to the bathroom?
It’s amazing how much better I feel just by prioritizing sleep. This journey is definitely proving its worth!
Stay tuned for next week’s update, where I’ll share how the CPAP machine is affecting my sleep and if the other benefits continue to hold strong. Who knows, maybe I’ll even crack the code on those restless nights!
Remember, even small changes can make a big difference. If you’re struggling with sleep, why not give the “Lights Out at 10” challenge a try? You might be surprised at the results!
