Today I felt a bit sleepy and I'm pretty sure I could have slept around 2:30pm, but when I came home I couldn't sleepy despite feeling tired. I laid in bed for a long time, and the time did go pretty quickly and felt good, but in the end I got up without sleeping. I know for sure I didn't sleep because I looked at the clock every 20 minutes.

Last night Yu Lee was tired so we ended going to bed a little earlier, and as I didn't want to sleep too long I set my alarm back to 4:30am.

I fell asleep quickly and slept through until about 3:00am when I woke up from a dream. I felt quite alert and thought it was morning, but when I realised what time it was I went back to sleep and woke up again at about 4:15am from another dream. I dozed for about 10 minutes before I turned off my alarm clock and got up.

It's nice to wake up without an alarm! It also gave me enough time to watch some of the Spanish TV series I am watching (the episodes are 1.5 hours long) which I haven't done since I moved my alarm time back to 5:00am.

Today when I came home from work I went straight to bed, and after 7 minutes I got up again. I knew pretty much straight away that I wouldn't sleep as my mind was very active and it was an effort to keep my eyes shut.

About 15 minutes after I got up I was sitting at my computer and suddenly I felt sleepy. I wasn't sure if I would actually fall asleep, but as soon as I laid down I drifted off in seconds!

I woke up about an hour later and logged the end of my sleep, and then I laid in bed for another 15 minutes waiting for Yu Lee to come home, but at about 6:10 she still wasn't back so I just got up.

This time I decided pretty quickly that I wasn't going to sleep...

Last night I was pretty tired by bed time, partly due to the fact that I had a cold and it was making me feel drowsy.

When I went to bed I fell asleep very quickly, and I slept through solidly until my alarm went off at 5:00am. I actually had a really good sleep and I feel very well rested! Also my cold symptoms are a lot better this morning so hopefully I am past the worst of it already.

This was not the most satisfying sleep in the world, but I am pretty sure I slept.

Today I went for a beer at lunch time with one of my Spanish friends, so when I got home from work I was feeling sleepy and feeling the after effects of the alcohol. I laid down to sleep, and I remember about 10 minutes later looking at the clock and thinking it hadn't been long enough to justify marking a red section on the chart so I put my sleep mask on and went back to sleep.

The next thing I remember is that it felt like I had been laying there for about another 10 minutes, so I opened my eyes and looked at the clock again, but this time I had been laying in bed for over an hour! I must have been asleep for most of this!

After I marked the end of my sleep I actually laid in bed for another half an hour but this time I was awake. I had a pretty horrible cold (again) so it felt good to get some rest.

Last night I was playing Guild Wars 2 with Yu Lee, and her little brother and some other people we know were online so we were all doing stuff together. It was really good fun, and when I logged off at 11:00pm I was still feeling quite excited! We went to bed straight afterwards but we ended up talking in bed for a while to wind down.

Once we finally settled down to sleep I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and slept through solidly until my alarm.

Today's nap was a success! I didn't feel particularly tired but I laid down in my bed with some ear plugs in and my sleep mask on and drifted off in about a minute! I woke up more than an hour later and felt like I had a pretty decent nap.

After I logged the end of my sleep I actually laid in bed for 20 minutes because I'm lazy and I couldn't be bothered to get up.

Last night it took me about 25 minutes to fall asleep, which probably means I went to bed a bit early. Once again this was because I wanted to go to bed at the same time as Yu Lee.

I slept solidly through the night and woke up from a dream, although I don't remember anything about the dream now.

I know for sure that I didn't sleep for the first 32 minutes as I reset the timer after that time, but I did feel nice and relaxed. After that it is difficult to be 100% sure what happened!

I don't remember falling asleep. I don't remember waking up. When I opened my eyes and checked the time I felt more alert, but not 100% refreshed, and it felt like less time after I reset the timer than before, so I guess I must have slept!

These kinds of naps are no where near as good as the kind I used to have though and I don't understand what has changed. I felt really sleepy all afternoon at work...

Last night I went to bed at around 11:00, but to be honest I should have probably stayed up a little longer. I was mainly thinking about how long I would have to sleep rather than how tired I felt.

It took me a little while to fall asleep, and I think this may have been because I had a cup of tea after my nap at about 9:00pm. I am pretty sure it was the caffeine because I felt a bit restless and I find that it affects the way that I think while I am trying to get to sleep.

I set my alarm for 5:00am this morning which is probably going to be the time I get up each morning as 4:30am is a little on the early side. I feel a little bit tired now but hopefully that means I will be able to nap after work and my sleeping pattern will be back to normal.

Today I didn't get a chance to nap, so by 7:00pm I was starting to feel very tired and I decided to go for a nap then.

For some reason it took me a long time to fall asleep, and I remember looking at the clock and it being 7:30pm and thinking "If I don't fall asleep in 5 minutes I'm getting up". Just after that I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember was Yu Lee coming into the bedroom at 8:30.

I think this was definitely worthwhile!

Last night was Yu Lee's brother's birthday so we were in London, and we ended up playing boggle until Yu Lee's mum came home around 11:30. We didn't get into bed until around midnight and it was about 10 past by the time we stopped talking and settled down to sleep.

I slept surprisingly well last night! Once I fell asleep (which took less than 5 minutes) I slept through solidly until my alarm at 6:00am when I woke up from a dream.

I had a driving lesson today at 11:45 and afterwards I had to go to London to see Yu Lee's family so I didn't have time to nap at home. Instead I managed to sleep for a while in the car on the way.

This obviously wasn't the best sleep in the world but it was better than nothing!

Last night I was planning on going to bed after 11, but Yu Lee was tired so in the end I went to bed with her. I definitely didn't fall asleep straight away and woke up periodically throughout the night.

At around 4:30 I woke up and then dozed for half an hour, and got up about 2 minutes before my alarm was due to go off.

Last night I slept a little bit less than the previous nights, and today when I came in from work I actually managed to fall asleep! It took me about 5 minutes to drift off and then I slept through for well over an hour. I remember towards the end being half asleep and thinking about work stuff.

About 10 minutes after I woke up Yu Lee came home with a nice dinner! I feel much better now that I've had a nap.
