Screenshot from WakeMate showing my sleep over the past week. Can you guess when Christine went out of town?
This might be the first post I do that doesn’t include a picture or video of Maile Girl. (Don’t worry she’ll be back tomorrow 😉 A couple months ago I bought a WakeMate device – its this bracelet you wear while you sleep that tracks your movements and uses that data to provide detailed info on how well (or poorly as is too often the case) you are sleeping. It’s been a pretty interesting experiment, especially with Maile Girl.
That point was drilled home last week. Christine went to New York and Washington, DC for work – her first trip of 2011. You can see what happened to my sleep in the graph above. Not only did I get less hours, but my “deep sleep” (the green at the bottom of the bar) went down as well. I think I need to get this bracelet on Christine to see if this is what Mommy’s sleep is like all the time! (My theory is that Christine’s sleep is probably a bit worse than mine, but the drop off we’re seeing here is more of a “single parent” effect: Chris definitely wakes up earlier than me, but I’ll sometimes get Maile in the middle of the night if necessary. This past week, I was doing both.)
Moral of the story: We survived the week, definitely a bit less rested, but Mommy came home today and we’re all VERY happy to see her!
