This chart shows my sleep pattern - the coloured blocks represent times that I am asleep.
This chart just show my sleeps for 17/11/2012.
Total time slept: 7:44 hours
Last night I heard 'the noise' again for the first time in a long time. It was a very low frequency (bassy) humming noise that sounds kind of like a very large diesel engine is just idling outside somewhere.
I think I fell asleep after about 15 minutes, so it didn't affect me too much.
At 4:40am this morning I woke up from a dream. I went back to sleep and woke up at 5:30 with my alarm, but I turned it off and dozed until 6:00.
Spider
Dream: Saturday 17 November 2012 04:40
At 4:40am this morning I woke up from a dream. I dreamt that my mum and Yu Lee found a massive spider in the kitchen and put a glass on it. I lifted up one edge of the glass to slide in a piece of card and suddenly the spider was gone. I had lots of spider webs in my hair and I was trying to find the spider, and thought it was on me somewhere.
Trust good old Yu Lee to spoil a good nap!
We were ripping out the old bath from our bathroom today, and it was tiring work. Since about 12:00 noon I felt completely knackered, so I decided it was nap time and Yu Lee came with me. It was a little brighter than usual as it was earlier, so I put on my eye mask and settled down to sleep.
Every time I nodded off, Yu Lee would fidget and wake me up! She said she was cold, but I was too hot, so the following cycle repeated: Yu Lee got cold and snuggled up to me, which woke me up and then I fell back to sleep after a few minutes. Then I got too hot which woke me up so I pushed her away from me, and then went back to sleep.
After an hour of this I stopped feeling sleepy so we turned on the lights...
After a little while awake, I felt sleepy again, so I made my second attempt at sleep. I managed to find a good compromise and had my legs out of the covers but with Yu Lee right up behind me - she was making me hot but the cool air was keeping me cool.
I went to sleep in about 5 - 10 minutes this time, and slept through until 5:35 when I woke up naturally, and felt a lot better.
Overall, I spent a lot longer in bed this afternoon than I intended but it was nice to relax after a tiring morning. Now it's time for dinner, followed by some more diy!
