Experiment Step 1: Select a bedtime when you will be able to fall
asleep easily. Try to make this bedtime at least 8 hours before you
need to wake up. Maintain that bedtime for a week and note the time
you wake up. If after a week you need an alarm clock to rise or if
you find yourself at all tired during the day, you havent slept
enough. Slide 25 Sleep Experiment Step 2: If youre not sleeping
enough, keep your waking time constant and go to bed 15 to 30
minutes earlier for a week. Repeat with an even earlier bedtime if,
after a week, you are still showing signs of sleep deprivation.
Slide 26 Sleep Experiment Step 3: Once youve established a correct
bedtime, try cutting back by 15 minutes and track whether that
produces feelings of daytime drowsiness. Slide 27 God grant me the
serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to
change the things I can, an the wisdom to know the difference.
