About This Video

After a mini-vacation, my sleep routine was… not routine-ing. So instead of spiraling (because yes, Type A women love a good spiral), I turned it into an experiment. In this vlog I walk you through how I’m sleep tracking in real time—daily check-ins, what I’m measuring, and how I’m using the data to rebuild my evenings with intention. The goal isn’t “perfect sleep,” it’s rebuilding energy with data and devotion while I balance content creation and my full-time work as a computational biologist. You’ll see my week play out: morning check-ins, a leg day workout, work days, editing for YouTube, and my evening reflections as I try to get back to a consistent bedtime. The big takeaway is the one I’m always coming back to in Type A Wellness: structure isn’t restriction—it’s self care. Even when I slip, the act of noticing is progress, and that awareness gives me something I can actually adjust. This video is basically a weekly review in motion: track, reflect, iterate, repeat.
