A couple of months back, I made a pact with my Fitbit Flex, rather rashly I must say, that I’d sleep by 23:30 hours. Kind of a funny thing for a night owl to do. Still, there you have it, I went and committed to something knowing fully well how tough it was to keep my word, and what’s more, breaking it every single day since with ease.
Fitbit Flex though is unfazed at this recalcitrant attitude, and dutifully (maybe cheerfully too?) reminds me at around 23:00 hours, that I need to get ready for sleep. Half an hour is the time you need to unwind and let yourself be carried away by Sleep to dreamland, it announces. Of course when it says that Fitbit Flex is talking through its bally hat, that is, if it dons one.
I get so lost in the book I am reading that Sleep is simply not entertained on arrival and is kept waiting twiddling its thumbs. Fed up, most days Sleep has to finally clout me one on the head and drag me, kicking and screaming, to unceremoniously dump me in dreamland. My sympathies unquestionably are with both Fitbit Flex and Sleep, they have taken on an impossible task. 😉

And you wear a Fitbit Flex by choice?
Are you thinking of the recent news of one ‘exploding’? Or is there something else I should be concerned about?
🙂 I hate being told what to do – like your example of when to go to bed. Even more so by a ‘thingymajig’!
Haha. Yeah, you and I both. It tells me and I ignore it 😛
Struggling with similar habits, not sleeping though. For drinking more glasses of water, which “they” say is very beneficial to remove all sorts of problems.. I downloaded app reminders, kept manual reminders, but nothing has worked yet.
Fortunately for me, I have taken to drinking more water, and regularly too. That is one thing which seems to have worked for me 🙂
I don’t even listen to humans. This gadget will never work for me.
I drink a lot of water too, but the annoying thing is it makes me want to pee every so often.
Tell me about it. Sometimes I think I should just move right in because then it would avoid the many trips 😛
I am so with you, except we set a more ridiculous goal. 22:30 wind down and a 23:00 lights out. It NEVER happens.
I can so imagine how it doesn’t 🙂
