I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in 20 or more years. I can't even remember when I slept well, maybe as a kid. I can't see getting eight a day unless its included in a nap when ever I have time. I do absolutely everything right according to the suggestions. No eating or drinking late (I don't drink coffee or pop). Fresh air from windows, dark and quiet for the most part except when the neighbours argue and thump something around that must be on the other side of my bedroom wall.
So my Fast Break Goal remains forever unchecked. Why should I bother with it anymore? I am the kind of person that hates seeing a blank space lol. It will be interesting how much sleep I get on my trip to Hawaii. If its my job stress keeping me awake, I should sleep good over there perhaps. But that won't explain the last 20 years when I didn't have a job and was pretty much retired with no worries. I have tried melatonin and Celestial Seasonings Sleepy time tea. The melatonin was good in getting me back to sleep when I woke up too early. Its the waking up too early that gets me.
