Learning Challenge: Sleep

I read this article 10 Ways Teachers Can Improve Their Sleep but I hope it works on students too. I've been a little sick recently, and definitely not sleeping super well. 

One thing that was confirmed by this article was that you need to stick to a sleep schedule. I knew this, and I am not a night owl so I try to go to bed by around midnight every night no matter the day of the week. If I'm up super late I can feel it in my body that it isn't good for me, so I try to sleep early.

Something new that I learned is that your feet temperature can affect how you sleep. I knew that colder temperatures are usually better (and I prefer those) but I had no idea that it's scientific that if your feet are too cold or too hot you can be sleepless. I often get uncomfortable if my feet are too cold at night, and now I know that it's not just me being dramatic. Grabbing a pair of socks now brb.

I am curious to explore sleeping in the complete darkness. I really try to have a little light in my room, because I have bad vision and when I take my contacts out at night I can't see anything so I like to at least be able to see light. I've recently however tried turning my little bedside light off when I sleep and I don't know if it's making a big difference yet, but after this article I'll keep it up. I am going to sleep in complete darkness and embrace it.
