Sleep 1

00:00 to 06:21

(6:20 hours)

Last night I went to bed at midnight, and although I felt pretty tired, it took me a while to fall asleep. I could hear the low frequency noise that interrupted my sleep a few months ago, which meant I didn't fall asleep for at least 15 minutes.

I moved my alarm back to 5:30am, but when it went off I turned it off and went back to sleep. When I opened my eyes I didn't even realise I'd fallen asleep - I thought I'd just laid there for a while, but when I looked at the clock it said 6:20. I wasn't very happy!

When I did eventually wake up, I felt like I'd had a bit too much sleep.

Sleep 2

16:19 to 16:55

(0:36 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

Last night I got quite a bit of sleep, and overslept my alarm this morning. Today at work there was no 'midday slump' and I felt awake all day.

When I got home, I went to bed and started yawning a bit. I relaxed, but sleep never came so I got up and went to the bathroom...

Sleep 3

17:08 to 17:44

(0:35 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

...and returned to my bed about 10 minutes later. Still no sleep!

Although I basically laid in bed for an hour without sleeping, I didn't really feel frustrated and felt nice and relaxed. I think I will need an early night tonight though!

Sleep 4

22:11 to 04:18

(6:06 hours)

Yesterday I couldn't fall asleep for my nap, so I was pretty tired by the time it got to 10pm, and I decided to just go to bed early. Yu Lee was tired too so she came to bed as well.

I fell asleep within about 5 minutes, and slept through until about 4:10am. I laid in bed for a while before recording the end of my sleep, and then laid in bed until 4:30am before I finally got up. As I've said before, laying in bed in the morning like this is not like watching the clock when you can't sleep: It feels more like having a lay in on a weekend.
