Sleep 1

21:16 to 02:47

(5:30 hours)

Last night I was a bit tired as my nap was interrupted, but I didn't plan on going to bed quite so early. Yu Lee said she was tired at 9:00pm so I went to bed with her and decided that if I didn't fall asleep in 5 minutes I would get back up. I fell asleep pretty quickly so I ended up getting a very early night!

Unsurprisingly I din't sleep through to my alarm and woke up at 2:45am. I'm not sure how this is going to affect my tiredness today but I am not going to let myself get into the habit of waking up at 3am every day!

I feel extremely well rested this morning. I've seen it written a few times that every hour slept before midnight is worth 2 after midnight, and I don't think this is 100% correct but maybe there is some truth in it!

Sleep 2

12:19 to 13:13

(0:54 hours)

I slept a little bit

Today I have a late meeting at work so I arranged to have a 2 hour lunch break and came home for a nap at lunch time. Every other day this week I have been knackered at this time but today I wasn't so tired which is strange considering how early I got up today.

It took me about 15 minutes to fall asleep and I don't feel that my sleep was particularly deep, but I think I slept for around 40 minutes before I woke up naturally. This wasn't the best nap in the world but it was nice to have a break in the middle of the day and I would definitely be up for trying it again in the future. The only bad thing is that I have to go back to work now!

Edit: This nap was useless! I was tired after work.

Sleep 3

19:28 to 23:21

(3:52 hours)

After dinner I felt a bit tired, and in the end I decided to just give up and go to bed! I fell asleep in about 10 minutes, but then I woke straight back up again (I have no idea why). After that I laid in bed until about 8:00pm before falling back to sleep.

I woke up naturally at around 11:30pm. It's funny because this used to be my bed time! I am planning on going back to sleep again some for an hour or two at some point during the morning.
