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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
