(0:26 hours)

I have been counting my breathes to fall asleep: You count each time you breathe out from 1, 2 up to 10. If you get to 10 you start again at 1.

While I was going to sleep I would count '1, 2, 3, 4' and then drift off into a dream. A few seconds later I would realise I was dreaming and wake up. Although I don't remember any of them in particular, they were vivid flashes of people and scenes.

This must have happened 5 or 6 times before I drifted off into a nice sleep. Now I feel a little bit groggy but I am glad to have slept.
