Last night marking the end of one month means I tallied up my sleeping hours for the month of November. They were remarkably similar to October's numbers. In October I slept a total of 236.9 hours. In November I slept 236.5 hours, or 7:53 per night. Not bad. But this month I realized that the sleep log can never be totally accurate. What do I do when I wake up in the middle of the night and am awake for an hour, as I did once? Do I count that hour? or subtract it? (I subtracted it) What if I wake up but then doze on and off for two hours before getting up? Do I count those? (I counted that for one hour) The sleep log, most unfortunately, is not infallible. It may be discontinued.
Also I decided it's making me too obsessive-compulsive. My first thought upon waking up should not be that I need to write down what time it is. I'm already fulfilling my OCD quota with my dishwashing compulsion which is becoming really bizarre. I wash dishes all the time. I can't stand having a sink full of dirty dishes. I've even washed things before Amanda was finished using them. This strikes me as a rather unhealthy obsession. I'm not sure what to do about it. Aren't clean dishes a good thing?

Obsessively washing dishes is a great habit. You can even do mine when I'm in Norman.
Obsessively washing dishes is only a stone's throw from obsessively washing your hands. And we all know that's a definite red flag.
But maybe instead you could write down the times you wash the dishes...
Here's some good advice for you regarding those OCD tendencies you seem to be exhibiting:
