You have almost arrived at the end of the course but remember – this is only the beginning of your journey. Before you move on to conquering the negativity in your life, let’s take some time and put your new knowledge to the test, so that you know what you need to work on most.
This short self-assessment can help you establish how much you now know about sleep and sleep disorders. So, ask yourself the following questions, and answer as truthfully as possible – after all, this tool is only for your personal use and benefit. If you’re able to answer all of them correctly, then you must have an excellent memory and the necessary motivation to succeed in changing your sleep patterns. If you have trouble answering some, then it would be best to go back and reread the course, or at least parts of it. It could help to take notes, or use an audio recorder to record those sentences, which have impressed you most are want to remember.
There are plenty of things we can do to sleep better. Unfortunately, it can be easy to lose track of them or to forget some. Use the following checklist to keep yourself accountable for your progress and to remind yourself of what you have to improve yet.
You can use these or come up with your own, but whatever you choose to do, it is important to place the list somewhere that you’d be compelled to look at it and fill it out every day. The point is that by making yourself responsible for practicing things that are known to improve sleep, your chances of succeeding will inevitably increase.
Filling in a checklist is a quick and simple way to remind yourself of what you need to do and keep yourself motivated. It would be highly beneficial to continue using a checklist, even after your month of “intensive sleep training” has passed.
