Monday Habit- This one thing determines if I get 5 hrs or 7+hrs of sleep
Age does weird things to the body. Over the past year, I have been getting less and less sleep and I could not quite put my finger on why. The strange thing was the inconsistency. One night I would get 7 hours, and the next I would be stuck at 5 or 6 without changing my bedtime. I think I have finally found the correlation & as cliche as it sounds. It's my water intake. I have realized that my sleep quality is decided about twelve hours before I hit the pillow: - 100 ounces on a normal day = 7+ hours of sleep. - 110 to 120 ounces on Jiu Jitsu days = 7+ hours of sleep. - Missing those marks = 5 or 6 hours of sleep. When I hit those 5-hour nights, I feel off and sluggish. I lose focus while I am working on my business and I do not have the usual energy during my movement practice. Being sharp for my business is something I take seriously. If my clarity is not there, it directly affects my clients and my team, and that is not something I will tolerate. This week, I am leading from the front to see if this theory holds up. I have been testing it for 10 days and the data is consistent. I am using my 40 ounce bottle to hit specific targets: - One full bottle before my morning movement. - Half a bottle during training and half after. - Another 20 to 40 ounces finished before 7:00 PM. I'm done guessing why I'm tired. What is the 1 habit you are going to work on this week to help you reach your goals? Drop it in the comments below.

Wow! I never correlated sleep with water intake during the day. I’ve noticed changes in my sleep patterns too as I’ve gotten into post menopause. I’m gonna start becoming more aware of this and how it affects my sleep too. Thank you for sharing your experience.
