On January 1, Endurance Nation challenged the Team to get more sleep, as sleep has been shown to be the biggest single performance enhancing resource that we all can access. The terms of the challenge were simple:

1. record your daily sleep hours in the Challenge Spreadsheet; and

2. report progress in Sleep Challenge Forum

Of 32 folks who started, congratulations to the 21 who finished:

Mariah B, Joe M, Jeff L, Beth H, Ralf M, Bill V, Stark, Paula N, Kim D, Rob S, Jenniferlyn K, John W, Noami G, Edwin C, Bryan R, Steve M, Dawn P, Antonia N, Ed S, Al T and Leslie K

Here are some of the lessons learned:

This challenge has been really great for getting me to realise that I really wasn't getting enough sleep. But now that I am more aware, I've been working to develop strategies that really seem to help, and I'm getting more consistent nights of 7-8 hours of sleep. I feel so much better!

I learned that with focus I can get in the proper "amount" of sleep. But I still have a long ways to go to make it "quality" sleep. Now off to experiment to get the "quality" part right.

It is very clear - I need to get more sleep!! No wonder I feel tired most days! Time to break some old habits, and develop new ones.

Thanks so much for participating in one of our Challenges!!! As a way of recognizing you for your total awesomeness, we have created "badges" that you can put into your signature...INSTRUCTIONS AND BADGES HERE

Stay tuned for our next challenge....and maybe you'll join us next time!!!
