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.

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.

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.

dream
1994 18/09/14 00:19 to 18/09/14 06:22 6:02 I slept well

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.

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.
