Total time slept: 3:26 hours

Details:

Sleep 1

23:26 to 02:30

(3:04 hours)

I really didn't want to wake up for that one.

I was a bit confused what was going on, as I am using my vibrating alarm clock, and I don't really remember turning it off. I could easily have slept the night through but I guess that is to be expected.

This definitely feels very unnatural - I still feel like I have got up in the middle of the night. Also my eyes are quite bloodshot and watery.

Sleep 2

06:58 to 07:20

(0:22 hours)

I slept with my ipod playing some pink noise while my girlfriend took her morning shower. I think I fell asleep quicker this time, and was fast asleep when the alarm went off.

I feel a bit refreshed but I really want some more sleep!

Sleep 3

12:20 to 12:42

(0:22 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

This is the first nap that I haven't been able to sleep for. I felt tired this morning, but about half an hour before my nap I suddenly felt very alert and awake.

When I got home at lunch time I laid in my bed for the correct amount of time but couldn't sleep.

Sleep 4

16:58 to 17:20

(0:22 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

When I got in from work today I was not particularly tired, but got a bit drowsy about 15 minutes before my nap. I read a little and then settled down to sleep.

Again I didn't sleep, but I came close to it. I tried to empty my mind and my body felt very heavy. 22 minutes went very quickly and when my alarm beeped I took off my mask and felt alert.

Sleep 5

23:25 to 02:30

(3:05 hours)

I fell asleep immediately for my core nap, and once again I didn't really want to get up afterwards. I feel tired.
