Sleep 1

23:06 to 06:00

(6:53 hours)

After we finished talking I didn't feel angry any more so I easily fell asleep. As it was a bit later than intended I decided to just turn off my alarm clock and see what happens.

I slept solidly through the night and woke up naturally at 6:00am. I think I was dreaming when I woke up (or soon before waking) but I can't remember anything about the dream. I feel a little bit groggy now but that is usual for me when I sleep more than 6 hours.

Sleep 2

16:15 to 16:50

(0:35 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

I didn't really feel tired when I got in from work and I didn't think I would sleep, but I decided to go for a lie down anyway. Once I was in bed I knew for sure I wouldn't sleep but I couldn't be bothered to get up so I laid there for a while!

Sleep 3

18:13 to 19:54

(1:40 hours)

I wasn't sure whether to take this nap or not, but now that I've woken up from it I would definitely say that it was a good idea!

I fell asleep in a couple of minutes and slept through solidly until Yu Lee came in to wake me up. I still feel a little bit 'off' from having weird sleep times today, but I definitely feel better than I did before my nap and I'm sure I will feel even better when I've finished this cup of tea!

Overall, I need to learn how to judge when I won't sleep so that I don't waste time laying down and not sleeping...

Sleep 4

22:39 to 04:29

(5:49 hours)

Last night I was quite surprised to start getting tired around 10:00pm, considering the amount of sleep I'd had. In the end I went to bed at the normal time, and I think I fell asleep relatively quickly although I slept quite lightly last night.

My sleep was very broken. I remember seeing the clock at 11:30, 1:30 and 3:45, but when my alarm went off at 4:30 I was fast asleep and I feel well rested.
