How is it supposed to be tracking your sleep?

By movements, basically...(that's how it tracks everything--it has an accelerometer like the iphone). So I suppose if you were having flailing nightmares but still asleep, or sleepwalking, it would be inaccurate. I know that I usually sleep pretty still, so that seems like it would be accurate...except I don't know how "sensitive" sensitive mode is! It's pretty clear to me regular mode didn't capture any of my movements!

I wonder who the first NFL team will be to do a video?

Thanks, WindSparrow. I've been taking ibuprofen, which helps. Believe it or not, this is a holdover from that stupid misplaced flu shot - I really need to do some yoga or something to strengthen it, because every time I overdo it even a little (like, moving furniture up steps and having to do an overhead press) it really hurts.

Yesterday I slept in until 11 am. Today I woke up at 5:30 am and couldn't get back to sleep. So I took Frankie for a long walk in the relative cool (82 degrees) up to the independent coffee place and then back again. Then I fed the animals, and myself, and got back in bed and slept from 9:15 am to about 1 pm. Oy.

Next, I *will* finish redoing my resume, by golly. And then send it out for forwarding.

I think I can judge the nights when I'm a restless sleeper by whether the cat is in the bed with me when I wake up. He likes to sleep tucked behind my knees, and too much movement makes him go away. Either that, or I sleep better when he's there!

I knew my coughing had gotten out of hand when the dog left the bed to sleep in the hall.

Just got off the phone with a reporter/blogger from NOLADefender.com about the Beers Not Bullets fundraiser I'm helping organize. Craziness- I started out just being one volunteer to help, and through a variety of events, became basically the chief organizer. It's exciting but NERVE WRACKING. Ah well, as long as everyone shows up, things should be fine.

This is the type of situation where the smart phone is both a blessing and a curse. Thank god I remembered to mute it before my massage today.

Event planning is stressful- if you do it well, no one notices the work involved and it's only when something goes awry that your efforts are exposed. (which can be annoying!)

Just a few more days...

Hi Ginger. Last time I asked you said you were better but still coughing a lot. Is the coughing any better?

Hmmmm, I was tempted by the idea of a fitbit but I really wanted an idea of how I was sleeping as well. I mean, I know when I *really* don't sleep but it'd be useful to have Actual Tracking Data. Except maybe that isn't something it excels at. Want data.

Also want the next hour to pass because I am sitting at the airport and booooooooooooored. Better than being stuck in either traffic or longer security lines but I am still kinda bored. Though there is a guy with a guitar who is occasionally singing and playing softly. He's not bad, actually.

Where are you headed, Cass?

Nora, happy to help if there's any way I can. Flexible schedule, doncha know.

bon bon linked to something a long time ago I think that gave really detailed sleep data.
