I Think I Angered My Beautyrest Sleeptracker Monitor

Super Early Bird Deal at Summer scoops
Photo-A-Day #4400

Recently, I posted about the Beautyrest® Sleeptracker® monitor. It is a product I received to review and promote. I was compensated. I use it every night to monitor my sleep. Today was my first time using it while I slept for the day while I worked overnights. I’m pretty sure that my Sleeptracker is mad at how pitiful my sleep was today. I am not sure exactly when I drifted off to sleep because…

Okay, this was how the day went. I got home form work and stopped at my parent’s house to pick up my Dad’s truck. I was picking up some rain barrels today at 9 am. I watched an episode of Transformers Robots in Disguise (Season 3 just started) and fell asleep while watching. I got up in time to get over to the recycling center to get the rain barrels and was back by 9:15. That should have given me a great day of sleep. The problem is that I didn’t go right to sleep. I read part of the comic book that I got from the Marvel Collector Corps box that I unboxed yesterday. That usually gets me to sleep. It didn’t. Then I reached for my Nintendo Switch. Link and I set off through Hyrule to find shrines and side quests and much more. When I am super tired and I play video games I tend to fall asleep with them on my face or millimeters from it. Not this time. I must have powered through to stay awake and continue playing. I didn’t even look at the time when I finally stopped. Then I rolled over and went to sleep.

I woke up at 3:29 and looked at the results of the Sleeptracker monitor. I had slept for 1 hour. One single hour. I apparently was awake for at least 2 hours before I opened my eyes at 3:29.

I’m completely out of practice for weekend sleeping. No one was home and I didn’t put in my earplugs. I played too long on the video game and I didn’t get to sleep immediately upon returning home. I’m thinking that tomorrow’s sleep tracker screen can’t look any worse.

On the way to work I decided that I wanted to have ice cream for dinner and I stopped in to Summer Scoops. They have some good soft serve ice cream. Well, on Saturdays between 4 and 6 they have a super deal where you get two hot dogs, chips and a drink plus an ice cream. Well, I couldn’t pass that up for under $5. What a deal.

So, I may not have slept much today but some ice cream certainly put me in a better mood.

I set out to #DiscoverKia at the Boston Auto Show Today

With the Kia HamStar Arlo

I have been given compensation for this post by Kia Motors. However, opinions, as always are 100% my own.

I drive a Kia Forte. I enjoy it very much. I’ve driven many different Kia vehicles in the past few years and have also enjoyed them. One of the more recent Kia models that I drove was the Kia Optima. I lived that one the most, for me. For the family it was the Kia Sedona. Now there are some new Kia’s that will be hitting the dealerships soon including the new Niro and Stinger. While I did not get to see the Stinger today, it is only at Detroit show, I did get to see the Niro. This is a CUV and is is a hybrid crossover vehicle that is appearing at dealerships now or very, very soon. I liked the look of this vehicle and who knows, when my lease is up I may look toward leasing one of those. Although, what really has me excited is the Kia Stinger, it just looks so cool!

My day at the Boston Auto show was fun, my father and his friend came along with me. I ran from place to place taking photos and learning about the cars while they explored on their own for a bit. I went through the Kia vehicles and made a bunch of very short 360 videos of the interior of each car. I’m working on those and they will be on my YouTube channel soon. What is already on the channel is my video that I made today which features the Kia Niro.
