Sleep 1

23:30 to 05:00

(5:30 hours)

Last night it took me a little while to fall asleep, which isn't really surprising as I had my nap so late in the day. Once I got to sleep I slept solidly through the night.

This morning I was dreaming.

Cards

Tags: Yu Lee

This morning I was dreaming about playing a card game with someone. It was a game where you had monsters and spells in your hand, and they had values for attack, defence and had special abilities - a bit like magic the gathering.

The person that was showing us the game said it wasn't that hard and we could pick it up as we went along.

Yu Lee spent ages on her turn because she had quite a few cards and couldn't work out what to do, and I was starting to get impatient. Then on my turn I could only do one thing, but it resulted in me picking up loads of cards, and then I had to choose what to do next.

It took me a few minutes to read through all of the cards, and then I had loads of options and the cards were all really unintuitive, for example I had a creature with really low attack and high defence, and it had some text that described different rules for its attack on the first, second and third turns.

After about 10 minutes, I announced that I wasn't going to play any more, that there were too many options, the cards were too unintuitive and that this was not fun! At that point my alarm went off and I felt frustrated because I didn't get to finish getting my point across!

Sleep 2

12:21 to 13:17

(0:56 hours)

Today was officially my last day of employment! The rest of the morning I've been trying to deal with a horrible Windows issue (Blue Screen of Death) and then I sat in the garden with a small glass of wine and a sandwich. Towards the end of my lunch someone started hammering something outside.

For my nap I fell asleep pretty quickly, but was awoken by the hammering about an hour later...

Sleep 3

13:17 to 14:02

(0:45 hours)

I slept a little bit

...The hammering continued for a while. I don't know how long so I guessed 45 minutes for my sleep log. I kept drifting back off though and waking up a little later to more banging...

Sleep 4

14:02 to 14:40

(0:38 hours)

...and the next thing I remember is waking up the the alarm. The banging must have stopped for a while because I was in a pretty deep sleep and didn't want to wake up!

Not a bad nap considering the noise!

Sleep 5

23:08 to 05:00

(5:52 hours)

Today I went out with one of my Spanish friends and a couple of her friends. We spoke Spanish all night as I don't think her friends spoke English.

Yu Lee came and picked me up afterwards and then we had a pizza. I was quite tired and fell asleep quickly just after 11pm.
