This chart shows my sleep pattern - the coloured blocks represent times that I am asleep.
This chart just show my sleeps for 13/09/2012.
Total time slept: 7:07 hours
Details:
Sleep 1
23:33 to 05:14
(5:40 hours)
I think I probably didn't need the extra sleep last night in the end. I woke up naturally at 4:30am, and went back to sleep, and then woke up just after 5 and got up.
The good thing about waking up naturally is that there is absolutely no tiredness at all!
The fact that I first woke up naturally after 5 hours (300 minutes) suggests that I had 3 full sleep cycles, and that my cycles are about 100 minutes long. It might be worth permanently lengthening my core to 5 hours in the long run.
Sleep 2
16:25 to 18:18
(1:52 hours)
I was worried I wouldn't fall asleep for this one after such a long sleep last night, but in the end I fell into a deep sleep.
WhenI woke up I set another 10 minutes on the alarm which went really quickly and didn't really seem to make any difference.
