(1:55 hours)

Today I had my driving lesson and then relaxed at home for a while before going for my nap. I could hear a few (very quiet) noises from next door and I really didn't want to be disturbed so I put in ear plugs and put on my sleep mask and went to sleep.

The first half of my sleep was very light. I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and then I remember opening my eyes after about 40 minutes and looking at the clock and thinking that I must have slept because it only felt like about 10 minutes had passed. I took my eye mask off and removed my earplugs, and although I thought it was unlikely that I would fall asleep again I decided to wait for 5 minutes before getting up.

I dozed off in about 5 minutes and then went into a lovely deep sleep! I slept through solidly for over an hour and woke up when Yu Lee came in to wake me (I woke up when she opened the door so I must have been in a light sleep by this time). This felt like one of my old naps! I felt great afterwards, like I'd had an amazing sleep. Hopefully this will start to happen more often again...
