1999 20/09/14 14:56 to 20/09/14 16:03 1:07 I slept well

Zen and Jo were staying with us today, so although I was tired, I set an alarm for just over an hour when I went for my nap.

I fell asleep very quickly and was sleeping quite deeply when my alarm went off. I definitely needed this nap though!

1998 19/09/14 23:24 to 20/09/14 06:27 7:03 I slept well

I definitely had at least 3 dreams last night, but I only remember one clearly.

I fell asleep reasonably quickly, and woke from a dream around 2:30am. I felt wide awake at this point and could have easily gotten up, but I went back to sleep and woke up 30 minutes later from another dream (the only one I remember).

My bladder was really full so I got up and went to the toilet, and when I got back I fell asleep easily.

I woke up to my alarm at 6:30am from another dream, but all I can remember this time are a few abstract thoughts, and definitely not enough for me to write it down. I felt pretty tired this morning and could have slept a lot longer.

1996 19/09/14 00:12 to 19/09/14 07:33 7:21 I slept well

This morning I didn't set an alarm, and ended up sleeping in an hour later than usual.

1995 18/09/14 12:32 to 18/09/14 14:19 1:47 I slept well

It took me a little while to fall asleep for my nap, probably about 10 - 15 minutes. I woke up at about 1:30pm when the front door went, but got back to sleep easily enough and woke up naturally from a dream at 2:20pm.

Last night we went for Greek food, and then when we got back Yu Lee fell asleep on the sofa and I played computer games.

I fell asleep quickly when we went up to bed, and slept through the night. I woke up naturally around 6:15am, then dozed for 10 minutes and got up 5 minutes before the alarm.

1993 17/09/14 13:34 to 17/09/14 15:30 1:55 I slept well

This was a really good nap. I fell asleep pretty quickly, and slept like a log for nearly 2 hours. I drifted in and out for the last 10 minutes before getting up.

1992 17/09/14 00:01 to 17/09/14 06:28 6:26 I slept well

I fell asleep quickly, and slept through until the alarm.

1991 16/09/14 11:43 to 16/09/14 13:29 1:45 I slept well

I went for my nap a little early because I had a conference call scheduled for 2:00pm. It took me a while to fall asleep properly, but I felt that I drifted in and out several times, waking and glancing at the clock each time.

The last time I remember looking at the clock was at 1:20pm, which was 10 minutes before the alarm was due. When the alarm did go off I was sleeping deeply and was dreaming. I experienced sleep inertia for the first time in ages.

Last night I fell asleep in about 15 minutes, and once I was asleep I slept through the night until the alarm woke me up at 6:30am.

1989 15/09/14 12:44 to 15/09/14 14:18 1:33 I slept well

I was pretty tired by nap time and fell asleep quickly. I slept for 1.5 hours and woke up naturally.

This is the nicest nap I've had for a while.

1988 15/09/14 00:10 to 15/09/14 06:27 6:16 I slept well

Yesterday I went out longboarding with my friend Pete and his son Kyle (and Yu Lee). We skated up the busway and then headed back towards home.

I was just coming down the last section of the busway, where the entrance to the science park is, where the road turns from tarmac to concrete paving slabs. The ridges between the slabs make your skateboard lose speed, so you have to do it relatively fast, and when I got onto the paved bit I realised I didn't have quite enough speed so I gave my board one last hard push.

There were a couple of cyclists coming round the corner, so I leaned on my board to weave around them, and a combination of coming off of a hard push on crappy ground and leaning too hard meant that I lost my balance. The board flew out from underneath me and I flew into the air and landed face first on the concrete. I was only going about 5 miles per hour, but the impact on the side of my face felt pretty solid.

I sat up and the cyclists asked if I was ok, and I told them not to worry because my friend would be there any second. As I said that I felt the blood start to pour out of my face and down my cheek.

When Pete got there he helped me take my shirt off and hold it against my face, and I had to sit down a few times on the walk home to stop from passing out.

When we got home we decided I needed to go to A&E and in the end I got 3 stitches in my eyebrow. The nurse said the flesh has split all the way to the bone!

I felt tired last night so I went to bed early, but when I got to bed I couldn't sleep for over an hour. I reset my sleep time a couple of times and remember looking at the clock and it saying 12:30am.

Yu Lee came to bed just after midnight and I was still awake then.

I woke up at about 5:45am, and thought "should I get up now?" As usual I fell back to sleep and woke up to the alarm at 6:30am.

1987 14/09/14 23:10 to 15/09/14 00:10 1:00 I didn't sleep at all
1986 14/09/14 13:04 to 14/09/14 14:31 1:27 I slept well

I wasn't 100% ready for a nap, but I was due to meet my friend at 3:00pm to go longboarding with his son, so I went up just after 1:00pm.

It took me a while to fall asleep, and I don't feel like I slept properly, but I must have because 1.5 hours would feel like an eternity if I didn't sleep at all.

1985 13/09/14 23:29 to 14/09/14 06:27 6:58 I slept well

I fell asleep quickly, and woke up a couple of times in the morning. I woke up at 5:30am, then at 6:15am. I remember thinking that I didn't need to set the alarm after all, but the next thing I knew I'd fallen back to sleep and woke up to the alarm at 6:30am.

Last night I was really tired and fell asleep quickly. I slept through the night and woke up from a dream at 6:45am. I was going to get up, but I must have dozed off an woke up from another dream 15 minutes later.

1982 12/09/14 13:55 to 12/09/14 14:14 0:19 I didn't sleep at all

I went for a beer and a burger at lunch time, and when I came back I tried to nap but wasn't tired enough.

1981 12/09/14 00:31 to 12/09/14 07:46 7:14 I slept well

Last night I was really tired, and should have gone to bed earlier. I slept through the night until about 7:15am, then I dozed for half an hour before getting up.

I felt like I slept too much.

1980 11/09/14 11:57 to 11/09/14 13:21 1:24 I slept well

I was due to meet my friend at 3:00pm for lunch, so I set an alarm for 2:00pm when I went for my nap.

It took me quite a while to fall asleep, and I felt that I slept lightly, but I did sleep so it was worth it. I woke up way before the alarm and managed to squeeze in another half hour of work before going out.
