Total time slept: 7:47 hours

Sleep 1

22:53 to 04:29

(5:36 hours)

Last night I was pretty tired by the time I got to bed and I fell asleep in less than 5 minutes. The night was uneventful and slept through until my alarm at 4:30am. I feel slightly tired now but I'm sure that will disappear in the next half an hour or so.

Sleep 2

11:32 to 12:07

(0:35 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

I felt nice and drowsy around 11:30am so I decided to take my nap a little early. I fell asleep in about 5 minutes but woke up pretty much straight away, and then fell asleep again 10 minutes later but woke up when I dribbled all over my hand!

In the end I had to reset the timer after half an hour. It wasn't too bad though...

Sleep 3

12:07 to 14:05

(1:58 hours)

After half an hour I fell asleep and then woke up 1:15 later from a dream. I should have got up then but I wanted to remember my dream so I laid there with my eyes closed and before I knew it another 35 minutes had passed.

I logged the end of my sleep when I woke up again but still laid in bed until 2:30pm.

I feel I have slept too long this time. I should have got up when I first woke up, and I really need to work on this as I have done this quite a few times now. It's a little frustrating but at least it's enjoyable!

American Pianos

Tags: Atta Carlos

I am with my work people, going to some kind of team lunch in a restaurant. As we walk there I am having a conversation with Carlos in Spanish, but for some reason Atta keeps butting in in English. He seems to be able to understand what we are talking about as he keeps saying things that are relevant to the conversation, but I ignore him and continue the conversation with Carlos in Spanish.

The main thing I remember talking about is a piano at Carlos' house. He tells me that it is an American piano, and I ask him if he plays it or not. He says that he doesn't as it is too complicated and I ask him whether it is the keyboard that he finds complicated and he says "no". I tell him that American pianos can be more complicated because they are often electric and he says that this one is not electric. I say that they tend to be more complicated than normal pianos with lots of extra "knobs and buttons", even the wooden ones. The conversation doesn't make a lot of sense really!

When we arrive at the restaurant there is a room with a drinks fridge and everyone is looking in it to choose their drinks. I look through it and there is some lemon liquor that looks out of place. For some reason I say that I can't choose my drink until we know where we are sitting.

I wait for everyone else to stop looking at the fridge and then we all go to find a table to sit at. As soon as we sit down I say "I need a drink" and then I get back up and squeeze past everyone to go back to the drinks fridge again to choose a drink!

This is the last thing I remember before waking up.

Sleep 4

22:40 to 04:01

(5:21 hours)

Last night I was feeling pretty tired by bed time and I fell asleep very quickly. I slept through solidly for the first 3.5 hours of the night at initially woke up at 2:00am.

I thought about whether or not to get up at this time and decided it was probably not a good idea! I dozed for a while and eventually got back to sleep again and woke up naturally again at 4:00am. As I've said a hundred times before, dozing like this in the middle of the night was very relaxing and comfortable and time didn't drag on at all.
