Sleep 1

22:54 to 05:43

(6:49 hours)

Last night we went out for dinner and I had a couple of small beers. We went to bed at about 10:30pm, and settled down to sleep just before 11:00pm. I fell asleep in minutes as I was very tired.

I slept solidly through the night until 4:00am when I woke up feeling very hot from a strange dream (although I don't remember it now). I looked at the clock and decided to go back to sleep for half an hour as it was a bit early, although I felt like I could have easily got up then. The next thing I remember is waking up at 5:30am having turned off my alarm without waking up!

I must have been tired, and it probably did me some good to get some extra sleep, but I felt pretty grim after sleeping for so long. I had a mild headache, my eyes ached and I felt really groggy all morning. When I went for my bath I found it really hard to be bothered to get out again. Now I remember why I am sleeping less at night...

Sleep 2

16:16 to 16:35

(0:19 hours)

I didn't sleep at all

Today I didn't manage to sleep for my nap. To be honest I knew I wouldn't before I even tried, but I still laid down for 20 minutes.

Sleep 3

22:47 to 04:52

(6:04 hours)

Last night I was pretty tired by bedtime, mainly due to the fact that I hadn't napped. I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and slept though until this morning.

This morning I woke up at 4:30am when my alarm went off but I slept in for another 20 minutes afterwards. I really need to get back into the habit of getting up when the alarm goes off!
