Sleep 1

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.

Sleep 2

16:10 to 17:29

(1:18 hours)

Towards the end of the day at work, I knew I would be able to nap today! I was starting to feel like it was way past my bed time.

When I got home, I went straight to bed and must have fallen asleep within minutes. I set my alarm for 6:30pm which would have given me 2:20 hours of sleep, but I woke up naturally after 1:15 which surprised me.

I felt refreshed when I woke up, but I also felt like it was a very short sleep.

Sleep 3

22:35 to 04:30

(5:54 hours)

My sleeping pattern is not very consistent at the moment!

Yesterday I woke up naturally at 4:10am, so I was pretty tired when I got in from work but I only slept for just over an hour. By the time 10pm came around I was already feeling tired so I went to bed at half past.

When I got in bed next door were playing their tv pretty loud and laughing, the heating was creaking, I could hear the low frequency noise and Yu Lee was breathing heavily in my ear. All of the noises mixed together into a kind of jumbled background noise, and I think I fell asleep within 10 minutes! Not bad!

This morning I woke up at 2:30am but went straight back to sleep. Then I woke up at 4:30 to my alarm and got up (although I did lay in bed for 15 minutes and nearly fell back to sleep).
