Sleep 1

23:33 to 05:32

(5:59 hours)

Today I slept for a long, 6 hour core. When this new sleeping pattern is properly established I hope to only sleep 4.5 hours for my core, but I wanted to use this core to pay off some sleep debt from my everyman experiment.

I slept through solidly, and when my alarm went off it took me a while to work out what was going on. Now that I'm up I feel a little bit sleepy, but nothing compared to my 2:30am wake up on eveyman!

Sleep 2

13:54 to 15:26

(1:32 hours)

This was my first nap after having a 6 hour core, and although I did sleep for most of it I wasn't quite tired enough to sleep through all of it.

First of all I didn't sleep straight away as my girlfriend was moving around downstairs and making some noise, and next door's children were in the garden singing, but I did get to sleep in the end. I think it may have taken 10 minutes to get to sleep but it's difficult to be sure.

I also woke up at 1 point when I rolled onto my side and my eye pillow fell off. I think I was already waking up before this as I never roll onto my side during a nap and I remember thinking it might fall off so I couldn't have been properly asleep.

I feel slightly groggy afterwards, but definitely refreshed. The experience of having a 90 minute nap is totally different to a 20 minute power nap.
