Sleep 1

00:59 to 05:51

(4:52 hours)

Last night I was pretty tired by the time bed time came around, and I fell asleep instantly. This morning I found it very hard to get up and I dozed off for about 20 minutes after the alarm.

Sleep 2

13:35 to 14:15

(0:40 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

Now I am getting very frustrated. I was feeling really drowsy from about 12:30 until nap time. When nap time came, I laid down in my bed and felt more and more sleepy until I started to drift off. Then all of a sudden I woke up about 2 minutes later.

I think I cam having problems sleeping for my nap because I drift off, and then wake up really hot because Yu Lee insists on having a really thick duvet on the bed. Once I have woken up I will not sleep again. This means I temporarily lose my tiredness, but get none of the benefits of sleeping - in an hour or two I will begin to feel sleepy again and if I can't get a nap at some point I will want to go to bed at 9:00pm which is ridiculous.

The worst thing is that Yu Lee is always sound asleep even though she didn't feel tired to start with.

Sleep 3

14:51 to 16:54

(2:03 hours)

Ok sleep, you thought you'd beaten me but it looks like I won in the end!

After not being able to fall asleep even though I felt tired, I got up and found a new secret weapon - I watched the first half an hour of a university lecture on sociology and that's enough to put anyone to sleep!

On a more serious note, I obviously was tired because I slept for a solid 2 hours, and I think it only took me a couple of minutes to drift off the second time. I woke up 1 minute before my alarm went off and now I am so glad that I went back to bed.
