(0:25 hours)

Before my nap today I didn't know whether I felt tired or not! I would say that my sleepiness was pretty low - I had no drowsiness at all really. My eyes on the other hand felt very tired but this could be from staring at a screen too much.

Today I slept on the couch for my 12:20 nap. I put on my eye mask and ipod and fell asleep pretty quickly.

My favourite technique at the moment for falling asleep fast is to count my breathes up to 10. If I get to 10, I start again at 1. I don't know why this works so well but it does, and most of the time I either don't get to 10 or only do it once.

After waking up a lot of my eye strain was gone and I feel better, but I would say now I feel more drowsy than before...
