Sleep 1

01:59 to 03:12

(1:13 hours)

I slept a little bit

My pet rat is really sick today: I think she will be dead in the next 24 hours. She really doesn't want to go back in her cage so I have decided to stay with her until she dies.

I tried to sleep downstairs sitting on my arm chair with my feet up and a small blanket over me, with my pet rat sitting on my lap. I didn't really get any proper sleep though as it was too uncomfortable.

I think I drifted off for a while, but then I woke up because ratty was panicking and bouncing around. I calmed her down and then got up to go to the bathroom.

Sleep 2

03:22 to 07:13

(3:50 hours)

As I couldn't sleep in the chair I decided to sleep on the sofa, with ratty sitting on my arm / chest. It was difficult to sleep and I am sure I woke up at least every hour and changed positions. It was really difficult to get both of my arms under the blanket without knocking ratty off.

Yu Lee came down at 5:30 but I told her I wanted another hour.

Today I am going to work from home so that ratty doesn't have to die alone.

Sleep 3

12:22 to 13:55

(1:32 hours)

This was s surprisingly good nap!

As my pet rat is slowly dying, I have decided to spend the rest of her life with her, so today I was working from home. As I had a very disturbed sleep last night, I was quite tired at midday so I went downstairs and slept on the sofa for a while.

I laid on my back with a blanket over me, and put my pet rat in between my arm and my chest. I woke up naturally after about 1:20 and my ratty had climbed into my armpit and was resting her head on my shoulder. The funny thing is that this is exactly how Yu Lee likes to sleep!

I had a much better sleep than I did last night, even if it was only 1.5 hours, and I felt refreshed afterwards.

Sleep 4

23:04 to 05:51

(6:46 hours)

Last night I slept down stairs again with ratty. I slept a lot better than the previous night, but it still wasn't the best quality sleep I've ever had.

At one point this morning ratty jumped off the side of the sofa and surprisingly it woke me up and I scooped her up and put her back on the sofa.

I'm really missing my bed at the moment!
