This morning I was a little tired, but I figured it would be better to have a nap later than sleep in.

By the time nap time came around I was exhausted and fell asleep quickly, and then I didn't wake up for over 3 hours! I could have sworn I'd set an alarm for 2:30pm but I must have turned it off without remembering it.

Overall I've slept nearly 9 hours today which is still a lot more than normal for me.

Last night I was quite tired by bed time, and after another coughing fit (which was really starting to hurt my chest muscles and throat) I fell asleep quickly.

I slept through the night without waking once which is definitely a good sign, and woke from a dream to my alarm at 5:00am.

I'm a little tired, but it will be worth getting up this early when I get to take my nap!

I knew I wouldn't sleep for this nap but it was nice to lay down for a while. I had about a 10 minute coughing fit, but after that I laid there and relaxed.

After about 50 minutes I decided I'd laid there long enough and got up again.

Last night, despite all of the sleep in the daytime, I was pretty tired by bed time. In the evening I just laid on the sofa in the back room watching Leverage with Yu Lee, and by the time bed time came around I was more than ready to go to sleep.

I fell asleep quickly, although I coughed a bit when I first laid down, and slept through the night, waking a few times towards the end of the night (from about 3:00am onwards).

I set my alarm for 5:00am, but when I got up and started putting on my clothes I realised that I felt terrible and went back to bed. I then slept on and off until 7:00am and got out of bed at 8:00am.

I fell back to sleep again, but it was a very light sleep and I was having weird dreams. I think the caffeine from the tea made my dreams seem a little more 'stressful' and I drifted in and out about 10 times in the hour.

After that, I laid in bed for another hour, before coming downstairs and laying on the sofa until 6:30pm. Now Yu Lee has gone to buy me more soup!

After waking up on the sofa and being uncomfortable, I went up stairs and got into my bed again and fell straight back to sleep. When I woke up I had a cup of tea and laid in bed for a while...

After waking up this morning I must have laid in bed for about an hour. I finally managed to drag myself out of bed and onto the sofa in the back room, and Yu Lee went to the shop to buy me some soup and a crusty bread roll.

After my soup I came into the front room and slept on the sofa for a couple more hours.

Yesterday I started to feel a little better after my nap. I had a craving for miso soup and I couldn't be bothered to cook, and also it was the first night that me and Yu Lee were back together so we decided to go out for Japanese food.

I felt a bit crappy but I enjoyed the meal!

Afterwards we lazed around watching on-demand tv, and by bed time I was exhausted and feeling terrible. I set the alarm for 5:00am with the intention of turning it off if I felt bad in the morning.

I had a broken nights sleep, waking at 12:30am, 1:30am, and basically every hour through the night. I felt hot and cold and generally uncomfortable.

I turned the alarm off at 5:00am, turned a second one off at 6:00am and ended up getting up after 8:00am.

My return journey to England was a bit crappy. The plane was about 25 minutes late taking off due to an issue with paperwork, and then when we landed it was a nightmare getting through immigration. On the Spanish side of the trip I literally just waved my passport at them on my way through, but there was such a big queue on our end that I actually had to queue for over an hour!

On the plane I'd started to feel like I was coming down with a cold, and by the time I got home I was feeling a bit crappy. I went for my nap but I couldn't get comfortable and it took me about half an hour to fall asleep.

When I woke up I felt even worse!

When I did decide to go back to sleep I suddenly felt like I might not be able to sleep. I laid with my eyes closed for what seemed like a couple of minutes, and the next thing I knew the alarm was going off.

Last night me and my dad went out to eat by ourselves, and had some really nice Spanish food. We had ox tail and pig's cheeks, and shared them half and half.

When I got back I was quite tired and fell asleep quickly. I set my alarm for 5:00am UK time, but when I got up I laid in bed for half an hour, and realised I didn't really have anything to do if I did get up. I set my alarm for 6:00am and went back to sleep...

Today we had a few beers at lunch time as usual, and afterwards all went for a nap. I fell asleep quickly despite not feeling that tired, and woke up naturally after an hour and a half.

Last night we went out for some really good food at a local bar. The dish is called rustidera, which is actually the name of the large baking tray that they cook it in, and consists of chicken, lamb, potatoes, onions, tomatoes and garlic all roasted together in the oven. It was great!

When we got back I was quite tired, and after a couple of episodes of family guy I went to bed and fell asleep straight away.

I set my alarm for 5:30am UK time (6:30am local time) and laid in bed for half an hour after it went off.

We didn't drink as much this lunch time because we've planned to go out with my dad's neighbours tonight. I still fell asleep easily and woke up naturally about 1:45 later.

Last night I was a little bit more tired, and I went to bed just before Dad did. He loaded the dishwasher which is always very noisy in this house as the noise echoes down the corridor to my room, and I fell asleep as soon as he went to bed.

This morning I woke up at 5:00am UK time (6:00am local time) and laid in bed for about half an hour before getting up and getting on with some freelance work.

After quite a few beers (and some surprisingly good tapas), I got to sleep easily for my nap and had a good sleep. I woke up to my alarm relatively easily.

Last night I was feeling sleepy in front of the TV, but when I got to bed it took me a while to fall asleep.

This morning when the alarm went off I was a little confused, and after I switched it off I laid in bed for 20 minutes.

I landed in Spain around midday and we went straight to a bar. I had a ham and tomato baguette (remember that Spanish ham is amazing!) and quite a few beers, and when I got back to my dad's house we all went for a nap.

I fell asleep quickly (being half-pissed helped with that!) and had a really good sleep. When my alarm went off I wasn't quite sure what was going on but I woke up easily.

It's good to be back in Spain!
