This chart shows my sleep pattern - the coloured blocks represent times that I am asleep.
This chart just show my sleeps for 10/02/2013.
Total time slept: 7:45 hours
Details:
Sleep 1
22:54 to 04:29
(5:35 hours)
Last night I went to bed at 10:30pm, but it was closer to 11:00 by the time I had settled down to sleep. I woke up around 3:30am and then slept through until my alarm at 4:30am.
When my alarm went off I'm pretty sure I was dreaming, although I have no clue what I was dreaming about. After my alarm went off I laid in bed for about 10 minutes, and at one point I drifted off back into a dream for about 2-3 minutes. The weird thing is that I had my eyes open the whole time, which I guess is only possible because my room is pitch black at night. I didn't bother recording it as a separate sleep as it was so short.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I actually woke up at 12:30am as well. I remember looking at the clock and thinking that I had slept for 1.5 hours which was probably 1 whole sleep cycle.
Sleep 2
13:21 to 14:12
(0:51 hours)
I didn't sleep at all
I came back from my driving lessons and felt tired so I went to bed, but in the end I just laid in bed for 45 minutes and then got up again.
Even after this failed attempt at a nap I still felt tired, so I know the problem wasn't to do with not being tired enough. I think that maybe I couldn't fall asleep because I was still a little bit nervous from my first lesson...
Sleep 3
15:30 to 17:24
(1:53 hours)
I stayed up for about an hour and played Guild Wars 2 with Yu Lee, and I know I was tired because I was snapping at her a bit. Then I decided to try to nap again, and this time it worked!
I think I fell asleep in about 10 minutes, and slept for nearly 2 hours. When Yu Lee came in to wake me I was having some crazy dreams but I don't really remember them very well now. I'm sure my dream had something to do with being in a hot country in the jungle.
This was a very nice nap this time! It's just a shame I wasted an hour beforehand going to bed when I wasn't really ready.
Sleep 4
22:37 to 04:29
(5:52 hours)
Last night I went to bed just after 10:30. I slept through solidly until 4:25am when I woke up naturally, and then went back to sleep for 5 minutes until my alarm went off and woke me up.
