Today’s Question:
Do you know what time you fall asleep each night ? I usually fall asleep at 9:30 pm
If so, *how* do you know (do you remember the last time you looked at your clock, or by some other method) ? I usually sleep right through until 5 am
Extra Credit: Realize Pam asked similar question to this, last Tues- Have you ever left (or do you still leave) a clock with the incorrect time during the time change, No figuring that in 6 months (give or take) it will be correct again (and it’s too much trouble to bother resetting it anyway) ? I always change it back to the correct time Bonus:
Have there been school closures in your vicinity declared, as attempts to slow transmission of the corona virus ? Yes everywhere.......
Just for Fun:
What is a thing you do (for fun) in order to get through an unpleasant chore/activity-is it a reward afterwards, competing stimuli during, or a combination of both ? If it is nice outside I spend time outside,or I get comfortable and read a book

Today’s Question:
Do you know what time you fall asleep each night ? No, sometimes 9 p.m. sometimes midnight, sometimes 3 a.m., sometimes 5 a.m. It depends on my workload. I'm more focused on "due dates" involving my business.
If so, *how* do you know (do you remember the last time you looked at your clock, or by some other method) ? I'm not a clock watcher when it comes to falling asleep. I just keep track of my business appointments, and watch the clock so I'm not late.

Realize Pam asked similar question to this, last Tues-
Have you ever left (or do you still leave) a clock with the incorrect time during the time change,
figuring that in 6 months (give or take) it will be correct again No....in my business, that's not a good thing to do (and it’s too much trouble to bother resetting it anyway) ?
Bonus:
Have there been school closures in your vicinity declared, as attempts to slow transmission of the corona virus ? Yes
Just for Fun:
What is a thing you do (for fun) in order to get through an unpleasant chore/activity-is it a reward afterwards, competing stimuli during, or a combination of both ? ....None of my jobs are unpleasant. With each job I complete in my home/office, my rewards are tallied in my Accounts Receivable Quick Books. I check the totals of outstanding invoices now and then, which is an incentive for me. Another incentive, is knowing that I helped another Veteran. I just smile when people say "You're 79? When are you retiring" ????

Thanks Cloven. Safety gear in place, safe distance a must, and a full day of business appointments.

Today’s Question:
Do you know what time you fall asleep each night ? It varies. It could be 1am, 3am, 4am, 5am.
If so, *how* do you know (do you remember the last time you looked at your clock, or by some other method) ? Sometimes I just pass out cold watching something so I don't know when I fall asleep.
Extra Credit: Realize Pam asked similar question to this, last Tues- Have you ever left (or do you still leave) a clock with the incorrect time during the time change, Yes, the one in my car that is now right again. figuring that in 6 months (give or take) it will be correct again (and it’s too much trouble to bother resetting it anyway) ? Hopefully this is permanent now. Bonus:
Have there been school closures in your vicinity declared, as attempts to slow transmission of the corona virus ?Yes. Everything is closed including restaurants. It's about to get real ugly here. We will drive out of Cook county to shop. I found a place that might be okay for a little while. Timing when to stay home for about a month is difficult, but it's coming.
