Sleep 1

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.

Sleep 2

06:35 to 06:57

(0:22 hours)

I moved my sleep forward by 25 minutes because I couldn't hold on any longer. I am thinking of shifting all of my naps around today - I will give it some consideration this morning.

This was the most refreshing nap yet! I went from feeling like I was going to fall asleep standing up, to just feeling tired. Woohoo.

Sleep 3

12:15 to 12:40

(0:25 hours)

I was extremely tired for this nap. I put on the sleep mask and listened to some brownian noise, and then counted down in 3s from 300. I had to restart my counting several times, and the next thing I knew my alarm was going off.

I set the alarm for 25 minutes this time as I had been taking ages to go to sleep during the day. This was an excellent nap.

Sleep 4

17:03 to 17:27

(0:24 hours)

I slept a little bit

I'm not really sure what happened on this nap. I'm pretty sure I was conscious for most of it, although I definitely drifted off momentarily a few times.

I was counting down from 300 in 3s and I got to 0 fairly quickly with no mistakes. I started again at 300 and made a lot more mistakes. I also noticed that I would see a flash of a dream, and then be back into counting but had started counting down in 1s or even counting up again. This happened several times.

It felt shorter than 24 minutes laying awake would have, and I feel like I have been asleep. To be honest I wasn't that tired before the nap so I don't feel much different now.

Sleep 5

23:15 to 02:30

(3:14 hours)

I added 5 minutes to the beginning of my core nap to see how I would feel - I think it might be a small improvement. I normally have an intense feeling that I have interrupted my sleep, but this time I feel a little less groggy and I think I was dreaming when I woke up.

I still feel extremely tired and would love to go back to sleep.
