Competitive Sleeping

Is anyone else annoyed by those watches and phone apps that track your sleep patterns? I was given a Garmin 920xt watch for my birthday in November, and I started tracking my sleep. At first, I thought it was cool, but I really didn't like wearing a watch to bed at night, so I downloaded a "motion detector" sleep app for my iPhone. Now I find myself competing in my sleep...literally. Mark
  • I wore a fit bit for a year with the sleep tracker. I now know when I go to the toilet timed to the minute.
  • Phew!!! "Competitive Sleeping." I thought you were going to reveal to us the next new collegiate competition activity. This is bad enough -- www.washingtonpost.com/.../ Dan
  • I am very good at sleeping. How do I find a local program of Masters Sleepers.
  • I am very good at sleeping. How do I find a local program of Masters Sleepers. Sorry, Allen, you can only hold world records in one Masters discipline at a time.
  • But not so much as I've gotten older. Now I wake up more, can't always fall back to sleep instantly, and don't know how much restorative sleep I'm really getting. show up for my workout tomorrow at 5:30am...we will fix that!!! in a pinch you can go swim stroke for stroke with StewartACarrol or PWB and you wont need to worry about sleepingl
  • My worst - 5:51 with 3:13 restorative (went to bed late and got up at 4:45 for swim practice... ouch) If 5:51 is your worst you are doing pretty well!

That would probably set me up for the "Big Sleep"
  • Competitive Sleeping! Now there's something I could really shine in. December 1st - 11 hours & 20 minutes with 48 minutes restless But that may not count, that was a fever assisted sleep. Saturday January 9th - 10 hours, 54 minutes only 20 minutes restless. I was in bed at 7:34 for that one. That was just plain tired from bumping up my training volume. Overall I don't compete with my sleep data. It usually just confirms what I already know. And I typically sleep decently enough to not stress over it.
  • My Moov Now says I got 8:06 hours of sleep last night. 4:30 of that was restorative. My record is - 9:24 with 5:15 restorative (Sunday morning). Being the first, would it be a Masters Sleepers world record? My worst - 5:51 with 3:13 restorative (went to bed late and got up at 4:45 for swim practice... ouch)
