Today I wasn't particularly tired at nap time, and I wasn't convinced I would actually sleep, but I went to bed anyway and was asleep within a few minutes.

I woke up naturally after about an hour, and laid there in a half-awake, half-asleep state for a while before getting up.

Last night we went for Polish food (which was awesome!) and then relaxed for a couple of hours in the living room. Yu Lee fell asleep just after 9:00pm, and soon after I started to feel really tired too.

I was in bed by 10:00pm and asleep within minutes! I slept through until about 2:30am when I woke up briefly, and then I woke up again at 4:52am. I closed my eyes and woke up again at 4:59am which is one minute before the alarm and jumped out of bed to turn it off before it went off.

I needed the extra sleep, and when I woke up I felt great (but starving).

I felt pretty tired this morning, but at nap time I didn't fall asleep as easily as I thought I would. After what seemed like 10 - 15 minutes of laying in bed I looked at the clock and I'd been in bed for 1.5 hours already, so I'd fallen asleep and woken up without even noticing it!

I went back to sleep, and then when my alarm did go off I didn't want to get up. I snoozed it a couple of time, eventually waking up at 2:50pm, and getting out of bed just after 3:00pm.

As you can see, last night was not a good night for me!

I went out in the evening with one of my Spanish friends that I hadn't seen for ages. We went to an Italian restaurant, and I had a pizza, tiramisu and a few beers. Afterwards I felt like I'd had a drink but I wasn't too bad.

When I went to bed I was starting to feel quite tired, but I drank my glass of water by my bed really quickly, so after an hour in bed I decided I'd better get up and go down stairs and get another one.

After that I must have dozed off for a while because the next time I looked at the clock was 2:00am and this time, after laying awake for a while, I decided I needed to go to the bathroom. When I got back it felt like I'd been laying in bed for ages but when I looked at the clock only about 15 minutes had passed.

After this I drifted in and out of sleep repeatedly, and I remember looking at the clock at 2:30am, 3:00am and 3:30am. I had loads of weird dreams, including 2 lucid dreams.

I woke up from my second lucid dream with my heart pounding, and the next thing I remember is morning. Looking back I don't know if I was really awake between those dreams or if I just dreamt of laying awake. Either way I feel a bit rough, and was very hungry when I woke up and had to make breakfast straight away.

All I can think of is that it must have been the coffee in the tiramisu that stopped me from being able to sleep (it did have a strong coffee flavour).

This was a fairly standard nap: I fell asleep quickly, woke up to my alarm, snoozed it once and got out of bed 5 minutes later.

Last night I fell asleep quickly. I slept through the night and woke up from a dream when my alarm went off. I don't remember the dream at all.

Today I fell asleep quickly for my nap. I set an alarm for just under 2 hours, and snoozed it once before getting up. This was a nice nap.

Yesterday we went to Nandos and then went bowling and I had a few beers. In the evening I read and felt quite tired by the time we went to bed.

I fell asleep quickly and slept solidly. When the alarm went off I was dreaming but I don't remember my dream.

I felt a little bit sleepy in the morning, and had stuff to do this afternoon so I went to bed a little earlier than usual and set my alarm for 2 hours.

It took me a little while to fall asleep, but no longer than 15 minutes. When I did fall asleep I slept deeply, and I snoozed my alarm for 10 minutes, and then turned it off and went back to sleep. In the end I woke up after 3 hours and dragged myself out of bed.

Last night I was pretty tired from the ice skating, but when I went to bed it took me what felt like quite a while to fall asleep. Normally I say that I was in bed for a long time but it went quickly, but this was the opposite and it felt like much longer than it actually was.

Last night, before we left London I had an extra cup of tea to usual (at about 8:30pm) because I was feeling a little bit tired and I needed to drive home. I'm pretty sure this is why it felt like I was laying in bed for a while, and it felt exactly like the insomnia I used to get when I was younger.

I looked at the clock at about 2:00am too, but I had been asleep already then.

This morning, when the alarm went off, I was sleeping very deeply and having a weird dream, and it took me a while to register that the alarm was going off and I needed to get up and turn it off.

I felt like I could have slept a lot longer.

Today we went to London to go ice skating (which was fun), and afterwards we went back to Yu Lee's mum's house. I had a pork sandwich and a cup of red bush and went to bed for a nap.

I set an alarm for 2 hours and fell asleep quickly, and when my alarm went off the house was cold and dark and everyone had gone out. I woke up easily and felt refreshed.

Last night I recorded 48 minutes of laying awake, but looking back I don't see how this could be true. I really must had dozed off briefly because the time passed very quickly.

I slept solidly, and woke up 2 minutes before my alarm. I laid in bed for 1 of those minutes, and then got up and turned off the alarm before it went off.

Today I took a half day at work, so I had time for a proper nap in the afternoon. I fell asleep in about 10 - 15 minutes and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Lee was off sick and she came in to wake me up after about 2 hours. She got in the bath and I laid there, and after a couple of minutes I fell back to sleep. I remember her calling from the bath "Are you awake?" and me replying "no!".

Last night I went to bed a bit later and fell asleep straight away. I woke up 5 minutes before my alarm and dozed until it went off.

When I came home at lunch time I didn't feel that tired. Yu Lee was home as she wasn't feeling well, and she decided to come for a nap with me.

Just like last night, she was asleep in seconds while I laid there. I'd just told my manager that I have started a business and want to work part time, and he agreed to it, so I was quite excited. I'd also just eaten a heavy chicken and bacon baguette. Also it's harder to sleep with Yu Lee in the bed (but a bit nicer). I'm not sure which of these contributed but it took me more than half an hour to fall asleep.

Once I did get to sleep I had a nice nap and woke up 5 minutes before the alarm. I still laid in bed for another 15 minutes before getting up and going back to work.
