Sleep 1

23:55 to 04:13

(4:18 hours)

Within 5 minutes of resetting my sleep I must have fallen asleep!

I woke up naturally not long after 4am, and rested in bed until about 4:30. Does this mean that I have caught up on all of my missing sleep?

I'm going to wait and see how I feel after today's nap before I consider my sleeping pattern back to normal.

Norovirus

Tags: Zen

I didn't remember this dream upon waking, but a fragment of it came back to me shortly after getting up.

I dreamt that we saw Zen and he said he had a job cleaning up vomit from norovirus sufferers. It sounded like he worked in a large building, possibly the university and would get called out whenever someone vomited to clean it up and limit the spread of the infection. He told me that some people were "sick" as in "sick in the head" and would purposefully go to place to vomit where lots of people were likely to come into contact with it. He said a very common place for them to be sick was in doorways inside the building so that people would have to walk through it and possible become infected.

Sleep 2

16:21 to 17:33

(1:12 hours)

This was not a good nap. I think I fell asleep in 5 - 10 minutes, but I didn't have a very good sleep. At first my next door neighbours were playing their usual game of "see how many times we can run up and down the stairs in 10 minutes", and as soon as I heard them doing that I just knew that they were going to be noisy after that which made me feel stressed and stopped me from sleeping well.

I have a feeling I woke up briefly around 5:00, and then they woke me up again at about half past (they love to turn the subwoofer up nice and loud on their tv). I did try to go back to sleep but at that moment Yu Lee came in and I just decided to get up.

This is a shame because I felt tired all afternoon at work, and if it wasn't for my neighbours I would have probably had a really good hour and a half nap, but now I will just have to deal with feeling a bit off for the rest of the day. :-(

Sleep 3

22:31 to 04:46

(6:15 hours)

I was quite tired last might due to my nap not being very refreshing, so I went to bed a little earlier than usual. In the end it took me about 30 minutes to fall asleep (the last time I looked at the clock it was 11:00pm).

This morning I woke up at 4:45am which was 15 minutes before my alarm. It was 4:50 by the time I dragged myself out of bed. I'm pretty sure I woke up from a dream but unfortunately I don't remember it.
