Total time slept: 8:40 hours
Details:
Sleep 1
00:36 to 06:45
(6:09 hours)
Last night we went out for dinner with Phil and Rosie (my dad's neighbours) and we got back around 1:00am local time. We sat and watched tv for a while and went to bed at 1:30am and I was asleep straight away.
I set an alarm for 7:45am, but I woke up naturally at 7:30am and turned it off. After that I actually fell back to sleep for 15 minutes before getting up.
Sleep 2
16:43 to 18:01
(1:17 hours)
Today at the pub I'd probably had enough beer already, but Sue wanted another one so I had one too. After that I paid the bill and then told the barman that it was our last night here and he gave us another round of drinks for free so in the end I had a couple more than I really needed!
When we got in I downed more than a pint of water and went straight to sleep. Just over an hour later I woke up with an incredible thirst...
Sleep 3
18:06 to 19:19
(1:13 hours)
...so I went to the kitchen to get some more water and downed another pint or so.
After getting water I came back to bed but I didn't really think there was any chance of falling asleep again. I laid down and drifted off, and what seemed like about 10 minutes later I opened my eyes again, and was surprised to see that more than another hour had passed!
Getting water half way through my nap was definitely the right thing to do as I'm sure I would be feeling hungover otherwise.
