This chart just show my sleeps for 14/12/2012.
Total time slept: 7:24 hours
Last night I went to bed when Yu Lee was tired, at about 10:40pm. We chatted in bed for 10 minutes and then I reset the timer and went to sleep.
It took me a little bit longer than usual to fall asleep, and I vaguely remember looking at the clock at about 11:30. As with previous nights, I don't remember laying in bed for this long and it wasn't at all frustrating, so I think I may have drifted into a light sleep before then and seen the clock when I woke up briefly to roll over.
I woke up naturally this morning at 4:25am from a dream. When I woke up I wasn't sure if it was morning, or if I had woken from a nap.
Trying on Yu Lee's Dresses
Dream: Friday 14 December 2012 04:27
I dreamt that for some reason I was trying on one of Yu Lee's dresses, and at that moment one of her old school friends came round so Yu Lee made me hide in her bed. After her friend left Yu Lee made me take my nap on the floor for some reason.
Today I felt very tired for a lot of the day at work, and I think I felt most tired at about 2:00pm. By the time it got to home time I was feeling a little more awake but still definitely in need of my nap!
This evening I had arranged to see one of my Spanish friends who lives in London but was in Cambridge for a conference. By the time my nap time had come around I still wasn't 100% sure what was going to happen. I sent her a text asking if she wanted to eat together and what time to meet and went for my nap.
2 hours later I woke up 2 minutes before my alarm was due to go off. I looked at my phone and she had replied and said to meet her at 7:00 to eat, so I quickly made a cup of tea and drank it, and then Yu Lee dropped me in town.
I managed the whole evening without reverting back to English once, so my nap obviously worked and stopped me from feeling tired. I really needed it today!
Last night I had a massive meal in town with one of my friends, and then walked back home and arrived at about 10:30pm. When I got back I drank a bit of water and came to bed at 11:00. It was the first night in ages that Yu Lee went to bed before me.
Because I woke up at 4:30am naturally yesterday, I actually switched my alarm off so that it wouldn't wake Yu Lee up at 5:00. This morning I woke up naturally at 5:05 and realised that I hadn't turned it back on, but it didn't matter because I woke up at the correct time anyway!
Considering I was so uncomfortably full last night, and that I had a glass of wine and some beer, I actually slept well and didn't need any extra sleep.
