Sleep 1

21:56 to 04:26

(6:30 hours)

Last night I slept like a baby!

I didn't think I would be able to sleep so early after having such a long nap, but Yu Lee asked my come to bed with her to tuck her in and I ended up getting into bed and going to sleep. I think it took me about 10 minutes to fall asleep, and I enjoyed being in my bed and not having to sit up and blow my nose every few minutes!

I slept through until 3:00am when I first woke up. I looked at the clock and thought "No I'm not getting up at 3am" and went straight back to sleep. When I next looked at the clock I thought it would be about 20 minutes later or something but it was actually 4:25am and about 5 minutes before my alarm, so I switched off the alarm and got up.

This morning I feel so much better! Not only do I not feel completely bunged up, but I also I had a full night of uninterrupted sleep! The last few days I have felt very drowsy in the mornings but today I feel pretty much back to normal. I still am slightly congested, and I actually have a bit of a sore throat but I'm sure this is from sleeping with my mouth open.

Sleep 2

16:21 to 17:29

(1:08 hours)

When I got home today I didn't feel particularly tired and I wasn't sure if I would be able to sleep or not. I looked at the clock just before I fell asleep and it said 4:29 so I think it took me about 10 minutes to fall asleep and I slept for just under an hour.

When I woke up I remember laying there for at least a few minutes trying to decide whether to get up or not. The house was very quiet and I was surprised Yu Lee wasn't home yet.

After my nap I felt really refreshed and I don't feel any tiredness at all.

Sleep 3

22:45 to 00:13

(1:28 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

This was by far the worst period of not being able to sleep since I started recording my sleeps! It took me 1.5 hours to get to sleep!

I started to feel a little sleepy around 10:00pm, but I stayed up until 10:45pm so that I would stand a better chance of getting to sleep, but when I finally did go to bed I simply couldn't sleep. It was weird though because I felt like I would be able to sleep.

I remember just before midnight I actually drifted off to sleep for a minute or 2 and then had a weird experience and woke up in a brief period of sleep paralysis. The weird thing is that I can't really remember what happened: it's as if my brain has tried really hard to forget it.

After that I got up and went to the toilet and had a drink of water, and eventually I fell asleep. I also set my alarm clock a little bit later, from 4:30am to 4:50am to make up for some of the time I had wasted laying in bed.

EDIT: I was also coughing a lot last night, so maybe this contributed towards my not being able to sleep?
