(6:49 hours)

Last night we went out for dinner and I had a couple of small beers. We went to bed at about 10:30pm, and settled down to sleep just before 11:00pm. I fell asleep in minutes as I was very tired.

I slept solidly through the night until 4:00am when I woke up feeling very hot from a strange dream (although I don't remember it now). I looked at the clock and decided to go back to sleep for half an hour as it was a bit early, although I felt like I could have easily got up then. The next thing I remember is waking up at 5:30am having turned off my alarm without waking up!

I must have been tired, and it probably did me some good to get some extra sleep, but I felt pretty grim after sleeping for so long. I had a mild headache, my eyes ached and I felt really groggy all morning. When I went for my bath I found it really hard to be bothered to get out again. Now I remember why I am sleeping less at night...
