I've been tracking my hours of sleep each night since 2016.
For 2018 so far:
On the weekend (Fri & Sat), I sleep an average of 7.93 hours per night. (That's less than I expected)
On week nights (Sun - Thu), I sleep an average of 6.77 hours per night.
Sunday is the night with the least sleep, 6.56 hours.
I didn't separate out vacation days vs non-vacation, but that would probably only make a very slight difference.
Overall, my average is 7.11 hours per night. (That's better than I expected)
In 2016, my average was 6.84.
In 2017, my average was 6.85.
I've a feeling my average is going to go down a bit now, as my morning Skype calls for work have shifted from 10am to 8am. Which means that I have to get up at least half an hour earlier than I had been doing before.
But then again, I have quite a few vacation days now at the end of the year.
I've also been keeping track of what time I go to bed & get up. It would be interesting to get an average of those times for weekdays versus weekends. But I'd have to figure out how to do that first. StackOverflow has a suggestion of how to calculate it, by converting the times to degrees and doing a vector average. But I think it might be easier if I shifted the times to avoid the midnight crossover (23 to 0), as then I could just do a simple average of the values. I don't feel like spending time on that right now though. Some other day. Or night.
