Self –Management Project topic

I Personally struggle with getting enough rest on a daily basis, it gets bad enough where I feel myself dozing off during a movie or doing regular activities. For this project I would like to try improving my sleep patterns every night for to help function better and for health reasons, in order to do so I will measure how many hours I sleep at night using an app provided with my phone. Currently I get about 4 to 5 hours of sleep each night which is considered to be my variable interval and my goal is to get to at least 8 hours of sleep every night. I would start off by setting a specific bedtime 10pm to get a fixed schedule try going to bed a half an hour earlier each night to work my way up to 8 hours for the first 3 to 4days, I would record data collected by writing down my bed time and awake time. My hopes are to achieve more sleep, better brain function, less tiredness and boost my energy by getting more sleep.
