I wasn't particularly tired when I went to bed last night, but I enjoyed laying there next to Yu Lee.

I got to sleep quicker than I thought I would and slept solidly through the night. I woke up from a dream when my alarm went off at 7:00am.

I started to feel crappy and hungover so I crashed on the sofa in the front room. Yu Lee came in at 9:30am and I woke up briefly, but then went back to sleep for another half an hour.

When I woke up I felt much better.

Yesterday I went to the pub with Carlos, and the beers went down a bit too easily. I drank too much (and too fast) and had a silly argument with Yu Lee when I got back.

When I'd eaten and sobered up a bit I watched a couple of episodes of House and went to bed a little earlier than usual (on my own). I fell asleep straight away, and woke up briefly when Yu Lee came to bed an hour later. Apart from that I slept through until my alarm at 7:00am.

Yu Lee came with me for this nap, and her being in the bed definitely disturbed my sleep for the first half of the nap. I did fall into a nice deep sleep though towards the end, and when the alarm went off I was dreaming.

After the alarm we laid in bed for about 40 minutes. Yu Lee always says she misses waking up next to me in the mornings so we took advantage of waking up together again.

After 40 minutes I managed to drag myself out of bed. I had a second lunch and a cup of tea, and now I'm off to the pub!

Last night we went to bed slightly earlier, but still a little later than intended. I fell asleep very quickly and slept through the night.

This morning the alarm woke me from a dream, but the shock of being woken by such a loud noise caused me to forget the dream. This has been happening a lot.

This nap was much longer than intended. I set my alarm for 1 hour, snoozed it for 10 minutes, then turned it off and went back to sleep. Yu Lee came up an hour after that and woke me up.

I think I've been cutting back on sleep a little too much and needed to catch up a bit. It feels a lot better to catch up at nap time than in the morning though!

This was a great nap, and I remember dreaming for the first time in ages.

I think I woke up briefly a couple of minutes before 3:00pm, but then I went back to sleep and woke up when the alarm went off at 3:00pm. Even though I'd only been asleep again for a couple of minutes, I was super-groggy and could have slept a lot longer.

Last night I went to bed even later and set the alarm earlier. Once again, the sonic bomb got to out of bed by scaring the shit out of me.

I feel tired now I'm up, but I'm going to have a great nap so it doesn't matter.

This is the first time I got up before the sun in a long time.

This was my first proper nap in a long time. I fell asleep quickly and woke up to my alarm just over an hour later, then snoozed it for 10 minutes.

It felt great to have a proper nap again!

This morning I switched to my other alarm clock: The Sonic Bomb.

I stopped using this alarm because it's more difficult to set, especially if I want to set the alarm time earlier as I you can only add to the time, and have to wait for it to go all the way round when you set it to an earlier time.

But this thing is loud.

This morning when my alarm went off, I got a sudden surge of adrenaline and jumped out of bed to stop the assault on my ears. Even though it's unpleasant, it seems to have worked. Hopefully I won't become immune to this one!

Today was another failure at getting up. Not only did I snooze my alarm several times between 8:30am and 9:30am, but even after that I went back to bed and laid there until about 10:15am. The last time I wasn't even tired.

I'm struggling to get back into my routine :-(
