(1:41 hours)

Today I felt moderately tired when I came home for my nap. For the first time in ages I set an alarm, as I have been sleeping up to 2.5 hours for my naps at the moment. I set it for 1:40 hours so that I would have 10 minutes to fall asleep, and then 1.5 hours to sleep.

It took me a little longer than usual to fall asleep: I think it was probably 10 - 15 minutes. The act of setting an alarm seems to make it harder to sleep, as I start to worry that if I don't fall asleep soon I will get a short nap and wake up tired.

When I woke up I could have definitely slept longer, and I felt slightly tired afterwards but not too bad. Let's see if this affects the amount of sleep I need tonight.
