Day 9/30
Sleep Time: 8 1/2 hrs
Wake Up 6:30am: No
Cold Shower: Yes
Social Media: Yes
Engagement/Presence: Average
Bedtime Routine From Previous Day: Yes

Observations:
Average day. Got up late, didn't do morning routine cuz I had an appointment. Finding it hard to balance getting my 8 hours of sleep with getting up early, since I've spent most of my life being a night owl. Still, I managed to get to bed early but got woken up by a dog at midnight right next to my window.
