2019 29/09/14 13:26 to 29/09/14 14:45 1:19 I slept well

Today I felt pretty tired at nap time so I set my alarm for 2 hours and went to sleep. I fell asleep quickly, and woke up way before my alarm.

It felt great to wake up naturally!

2018 28/09/14 23:54 to 29/09/14 05:59 6:04 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly. I woke up at 3:00am because I bit into the end of my tongue quite hard. After that I went back to sleep and woke from a dream at 6:00am when my alarm went off.

2017 28/09/14 12:34 to 28/09/14 14:11 1:36 I slept well

I felt relatively tired this morning, but when nap time came I found it hard to sleep.

After about 20 minutes I took out my earplugs because they were annoying me, and I thought I wasn't going to fall asleep anyway. As soon as I took them out I remembered why I wear them for my naps: in the space of about 10 minutes I heard at least 5 people use the pelican crossing outside my window and a police car.

After a few more minutes I started to drift but another person used the crossing, so I put my earplugs back in and rolled over. I'm pretty sure the time was about 1:00pm at that point.

After that I fell asleep, and slept until Yu Lee came in. She laid down on the bed next to me because she had a headache, and about 5 minutes later my alarm went off.

When Yu Lee came in, the sound of her moving came into my dream, but now I don't remember the dream at all.

2016 28/09/14 00:23 to 28/09/14 05:58 5:35 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and slept through the night. This morning when my alarm went off I felt tired, and was tempted to go back to bed, but in the end I decided against it.

2015 27/09/14 12:31 to 27/09/14 14:18 1:47 I slept well

Today I was pretty tired before nap time, probably due to the disturbed sleep I had last night.

I fell asleep quickly for my name, and when my alarm went off I felt that I could have slept a lot longer.

2014 27/09/14 01:12 to 27/09/14 06:12 5:00 I slept well

Last night Yu Lee was out with her friends, and I got tired before she came home and went to bed. When she's out I always find it hard to sleep because I know she will come back and disturb me, and when I did finally fall asleep she came home and I woke up. I must have still been sleeping very lightly because the noise of the front door opening was enough to wake me.

When she came to bed she was still very alert and hadn't had a chance to wind down, so I ended up waking up for a while until she got settled.

I remember waking a few times in the morning and thinking "shall I get up now?" but I'm not 100% sure that that actually happened and wasn't a dream. The last time I remember looking at the clock was just before 6:00am, and when my alarm went off 20 minutes later it felt like I was sleeping deeply.

2013 27/09/14 00:00 to 27/09/14 00:40 0:39 I didn't sleep at all
2012 26/09/14 12:48 to 26/09/14 14:34 1:46 I slept well

Today I was pretty tired at nap time. Even though I slept a lot last night, I feel like I haven't really caught up properly from the night that we were babysitting.

I set an alarm, but Yu Lee came in and woke me up before it went off.

2011 25/09/14 23:14 to 26/09/14 06:02 6:48 I slept well

I was just falling asleep for my nap today when a car stopped at the traffic lights outside my window, and it had music playing loud enough to wake me back up, even through my ear plugs. As usual, being woken when I was just falling asleep properly woke me up and I gave up on my nap.

At about 10:00pm I came over really tired, so I decided to go to bed early. I went up at about 10:30am, but Yu Lee clearly wasn't tired as she wouldn't shut up!

When I did fall asleep, I slept through until about 5:40am, when I woke up and dozed for about half an hour. I nearly got up at 5:55am, but in the end I went back to sleep for another 10 minutes.

2010 25/09/14 13:24 to 25/09/14 13:49 0:25 I didn't sleep at all
2009 24/09/14 23:26 to 25/09/14 06:37 7:11 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and slept through the night.

This morning I woke up to my alarm at 6:15am, but I was extremely sleepy so I reset it for 6:40am and went back to bed. I laid there for what felt like a minute, and then I thought "as I'm not falling asleep straight away maybe I should get up again."

Then, I suddenly realised that the alarm was going off, and I had in fact fallen asleep again and been woken by the alarm already. I must have fallen asleep in seconds!

2008 24/09/14 12:55 to 24/09/14 14:33 1:38 I slept well

Even though I had a bit of a lay in this morning, I still missed out on a bit of sleep last night, so I set the nap-alarm a little later than usual.

I definitely dreamt during this nap, and I think I remember waking up and looking at the clock a few times, but it's hard to tell if that actually happened or if I dreamt it. I remember thinking there were 5 minutes left before the alarm was due to go off, but the next thing I knew it woke me up from what felt like a deep sleep.

I don't remember any of the dreams now. I could have slept a lot longer!

2007 24/09/14 02:40 to 24/09/14 07:13 4:33 I slept well

Last night we went to Yu Lee's dad's to babysit while they went to a concert. They didn't get back until gone midnight, so it was about 2:00am when we got home. I was very tired during the drive back and happy to get home.

We went to bed pretty much straight away, but as usual, without having a proper time to unwind it took me a while to fall asleep. When I did get to sleep I slept solidly and woke up to the alarm at 7:15am.

2006 24/09/14 02:07 to 24/09/14 02:39 0:32 I didn't sleep at all
2005 23/09/14 12:25 to 23/09/14 13:47 1:22 I slept well

I allowed myself a little longer for this nap, because we are off to Yu Lee's dad's to babysit and won't be getting back until late.

I woke up way before the alarm and allowed myself to doze for a while. I still got up before the alarm went off (so that I heard it going off when I was down stairs enjoying a nice cup of tea and had to run upstairs to turn it off!).

2004 22/09/14 23:47 to 23/09/14 06:17 6:29 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and woke a few times in the early morning. I remember looking at the clock and it being 4:45am, and thinking that I was awake enough to get up already.

Once I went back to sleep I slept deeply again, and when the alarm went off I was quite tired.

2003 22/09/14 12:48 to 22/09/14 14:02 1:13 I slept well

I set my alarm for 2:30pm as I was due to call a client in the afternoon, but in the end I woke up naturally just after 2:00pm.

2002 22/09/14 00:02 to 22/09/14 06:28 6:26 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and slept through the night without waking. This morning I woke up from a dream to the alarm at 6:30am.

2001 21/09/14 12:58 to 21/09/14 14:13 1:14 I slept well

Today I really needed my nap, but Zen and Jo were still here and we wanted to go skating afterwards, so I set my alarm for 2:10pm when I went to bed.

I fell asleep quickly and woke up naturally a while later. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock and it said 2:10pm, and I realised that although I'd set the alarm, I'd forgotten to actually turn it on! Somehow I managed to wake up at exactly the time when the alarm was due to go off though.

2000 20/09/14 23:51 to 21/09/14 06:28 6:36 I slept well

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and woke up from a dream at 2:00am. I remembered the dream very clearly at the time but I don't remember it at all now.

I got back to sleep easily and slept through until the alarm at 6:30am.
