Sleep 1

23:01 to 05:00

(5:59 hours)

Last night I was pretty tired by bed time, partly due to the fact that I had a cold and it was making me feel drowsy.

When I went to bed I fell asleep very quickly, and I slept through solidly until my alarm went off at 5:00am. I actually had a really good sleep and I feel very well rested! Also my cold symptoms are a lot better this morning so hopefully I am past the worst of it already.

Sleep 2

16:20 to 16:27

(0:07 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

This time I decided pretty quickly that I wasn't going to sleep...

Sleep 3

16:42 to 17:56

(1:13 hours)

Today when I came home from work I went straight to bed, and after 7 minutes I got up again. I knew pretty much straight away that I wouldn't sleep as my mind was very active and it was an effort to keep my eyes shut.

About 15 minutes after I got up I was sitting at my computer and suddenly I felt sleepy. I wasn't sure if I would actually fall asleep, but as soon as I laid down I drifted off in seconds!

I woke up about an hour later and logged the end of my sleep, and then I laid in bed for another 15 minutes waiting for Yu Lee to come home, but at about 6:10 she still wasn't back so I just got up.

Sleep 4

22:46 to 04:25

(5:39 hours)

Last night Yu Lee was tired so we ended going to bed a little earlier, and as I didn't want to sleep too long I set my alarm back to 4:30am.

I fell asleep quickly and slept through until about 3:00am when I woke up from a dream. I felt quite alert and thought it was morning, but when I realised what time it was I went back to sleep and woke up again at about 4:15am from another dream. I dozed for about 10 minutes before I turned off my alarm clock and got up.

It's nice to wake up without an alarm! It also gave me enough time to watch some of the Spanish TV series I am watching (the episodes are 1.5 hours long) which I haven't done since I moved my alarm time back to 5:00am.
