325 27/12/12 00:05 to 27/12/12 06:20 6:15 I slept well

It took me at least 15 minutes to fall asleep last night and possibly a bit longer. I vaguely remember waking up in the night and going straight back to sleep but I really can't be sure that it happened.

This morning I woke up from my alarm at 6:15. I was dreaming about being at work and talking to my colleagues when my alarm went off. As I laid there trying to remember the dream I nodded off back to sleep but woke up a couple of minutes later. I feel a little tired now.

324 26/12/12 13:30 to 26/12/12 15:37 2:07 I slept well

I remember this nap like this: I laid down for a while and after about half an hour gave up on trying to sleep and opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes 2 hours had passed and there is no way that I'd laid in bed for 2 whole hours without sleeping so I must have slept!

I totally don't remember falling asleep but I think I must have slept for 1 - 1.5 hours. I feel refreshed now.

323 26/12/12 00:31 to 26/12/12 05:55 5:24 I slept well

Yesterday was Christmas and I ended up staying up a bit later than usual watching stand up comedy at Yu Lee's sister's house. By the time we left it was gone midnight and I had felt tired since about 11pm.

When we got in we went straight to bed. The Wi-Fi in the room was bad so I had to go to the landing to get signal, so in the end we laid in bed talking for a while after I logged the start of the sleep. It also took me a little bit longer than usual to fall asleep and I remember thinking that I was 'past being tired'.

I set my alarm for 6:30am which would have given me 6 hour's sleep, but I woke up naturally just before 6:00am.

I woke up from a dream about sneaking out of the house at night to go somewhere with some of my friends from Jagex. The strange thing is these weren't really people I have ever seen outside of work.

322 25/12/12 16:35 to 25/12/12 18:10 1:35 I slept well

Today was Christmas day so we spent the day at You Lee's sister's house and had an absolutely enormous Christmas dinner. I was feeling sleepy from about 12:00 and we didn't eat until about 3pm, and by 4:00 I was feeling knackered so we went back to Yu Lee's mum's house for our nap.

The house next door is full of foreign students so they were having a party and there was quite a lot of noise. Initially I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep but in the end I think I fell asleep in about 10 minutes and woke up naturally after about an hour and a half.

After our nap we went back to Yu Lee's sister's house and they were still eating dessert. I am typing this in on my tablet now!

321 24/12/12 22:50 to 25/12/12 05:00 6:09 I slept well

Last night I felt very tired at about 9:00pm and I got in bed with a book at 10:00pm. By this time I didn't feel so tired anymore so I read for an hour.

While I was in bed next door were having a party and were being quite noisy, and just when I settled down to sleep they were in their garden being very loud. I put my earplugs in and went to sleep.

I have a very vague memory of waking up naturally at some point this morning but going back to sleep without opening my eyes. The next thing I knew the alarm went off at 5:00am and I got up.

320 24/12/12 12:54 to 24/12/12 14:34 1:39 I slept well

It took a little while to fall asleep, I would guess around 10 minutes. I thought I wouldn't sleep but clearly I did.

I woke up naturally from a dream. In my dream I had accidentally took a sip of human sewage, and was desperately trying to wash my mouth out without swallowing any of it, and spitting into a sink. When I woke up my head was hanging over the side of the bed and I was practically gargling with my own saliva!

The dream seemed like a very long and complicated dream, and it felt like I had been asleep for hours. I tried to remember my dream by working backwards but could only remember the end.

315 23/12/12 22:56 to 24/12/12 03:58 5:02 I slept well

Last night I read in bed for a while before going to sleep. Next door were making some noise so I put in ear plugs which did a great job of blocking them out. When I finally decided to go to sleep I fell asleep really quickly, in a couple of minutes.

This morning I woke up at 3:30am. I laid in bed for a few minutes when I suddenly realised I had an ear plug in my hand, so I must have pulled it out in my sleep! As it was so early I decided to see if I could get back to sleep, so I dozed for about half an hour and eventually decided to get up at 4:00am.

314 23/12/12 15:46 to 23/12/12 16:30 0:43 I slept a little bit

In don't really know if I slept or not, but it felt like I was laying down for about ten minutes. I felt sleepy before laying down but I probably wasn't that tired - I think it is just that I'm used to going to sleep at that time.

I feel quite refreshed now so it was worth it!

313 23/12/12 10:09 to 23/12/12 11:12 1:03 I slept well

I was feeling very sleepy this morning, so I decided to take a nap just after 10am. I was thinking to myself "I can't wait for my nap" when I decided actually I don't have to wait for it and decided to take it early.

This nap felt slightly different to my normal afternoon naps. I woke up after an hour which is really short, and I didn't feel like I'd slept so deeply. I feel a lot better now and it will be interesting to see whether I feel like taking another short nap this afternoon.

311 23/12/12 02:17 to 23/12/12 05:29 3:11 I slept well

I think that has to be about the worst night's sleep I've had since I started sleeping biphasically!

After about an hour awake in the middle of the night I laid down on the floor to test how sleepy I was (I didn't want to disturb Yu Lee going in and out) and I realised I would probably sleep if I went back to bed. When I got back in bed I fell asleep straight away but I think I woke up at 3:30, and then 4:30, so when I woke up again at 5:30 I thought it was definitely time to get up.

I feel like I could go to sleep now. I feel like I could probably sleep forever like that, as the quality of my sleep was so poor that I would probably never stop being tired enough to sleep!

We have recently got our house insulated, and the temperature inside is a little higher than it used to be. I wonder if the new temperature is what was stopping me from sleeping properly...

310 22/12/12 22:30 to 23/12/12 01:28 2:58 I slept well

...and once I did finally fall asleep, I woke up after 3 hours.

I laid in bed for a while as I didn't really want to get up at 1:30am, but as I laid there I started to feel overwhelmingly hot. When I got up my whole body was really hot and I wouldn't be surprised if I was ill.

I got a glass of water which cooled me off and I am sitting at my mac in the dark. I don't think it will be long before I come back to bed. I hope I am not ill!

312 22/12/12 21:46 to 22/12/12 22:29 0:43 I didn't sleep at all

I felt really tired so I went to bed early, but in the end it took me at least 45 minutes to fall asleep...

309 22/12/12 15:06 to 22/12/12 15:44 0:38 I didn't sleep at all

I can't put into words how angry I feel.

308 22/12/12 14:24 to 22/12/12 15:05 0:41 I slept well

Fell asleep in about 5 minutes. A great nap ruined by my neighbours.

307 21/12/12 23:24 to 22/12/12 04:28 5:04 I slept well

Last night Yu Lee was out with her friends when I went to bed. I remember laying in bed and not feeling right because she wasn't home and thinking it would take me a while to sleep. I think I fell asleep within 5 minutes as usual.

When Yu Lee came in to bed I woke up enough to cuddle up to her but I kept my eyes closed. I think I did eventually roll over and look at the clock and it was about 1:00am.

This morning I woke up naturally at about 4:20 from a dream. I remember thinking that I didn't remember the dream, all I could remember was the stupid maths show I was doing, and then I realised that was the dream! I laid still in bed to try and crystallise my memories of the dream, but I fell asleep again and woke up 10 minutes later, so I need to be careful about doing that.

306 21/12/12 16:04 to 21/12/12 18:02 1:58 I slept well

I think it took me about 5 minutes to fall asleep, but I woke up at 4:30 which would have only been 20 minutes sleep. It then took me another 5 minutes to fall back to sleep but this time I slept through until 6:00.

I woke up naturally from a dream about being in Slough and arguing with some of the people that I used to go to school with (not my friends but people in my year). I felt a bit groggy and laid in bed for 15 minutes after logging my sleep.

305 20/12/12 23:28 to 21/12/12 05:01 5:32 I slept well

Last night I went to bed at 11:30 which I think is generally a better time for me. I fell asleep almost instantly and slept right through to my alarm.

This morning I woke up at 5:00am and turned off the alarm. I could remember dreaming, but couldn't remember anything about the dream. I laid in bed for a while, trying to get the dream back and suddenly I had a very weak memory of something in the dream. Once I had remembered 1 detail the rest started to come back and I played the whole thing through in my head before I logged my sleep (which was only 1 minute later).

I wrote my dream down in my journal and got up. It was about living in a shared house with a load of people with learning difficulties, and having a very odd group sex education lesson with them!

304 20/12/12 16:19 to 20/12/12 18:24 2:04 I slept well

Today at work I was thinking I probably wouldn't be able to nap today as I didn't feel the usual afternoon slump. When I finally got home and laid down though, I started to feel tired but was still not sure if I would sleep. In the end I fell asleep in about 5 minutes.

After 2 hours of sleep I woke up naturally, and I'm sure I was dreaming but I couldn't remember anything about the dream. I have started to keep a dream journal, so I wrote that I had a dream but couldn't remember it which is frustrating as I have been remembering a lot of dreams lately.

When I woke up I couldn't tell if it was morning or not but I felt great afterwards. I think 2 hours is the perfect length for my nap!

303 19/12/12 22:57 to 20/12/12 05:00 6:02 I slept well

Last night I went to bed at 11:00 with Yu Lee, but I wasn't that tired and I probably should have stayed up a little bit later. It took me at least 15 minutes to fall asleep because I remember looking at the clock at 11:15, but I think it was more likely 20 - 30 minutes.

I think I remember waking up after a couple of hours. I think I had a dream and woke up, but decided not to write it down (I want to start a dream journal) as that would wake me up too much and risk another strange night. Maybe that was a mistake?

This morning at 5:00 when the alarm went off I felt like I could have slept for a bit longer, and I laid in bed for 5 minutes before getting up which is not ideal as it can lead to oversleeps. I was probably tired due to my shorter nap yesterday - hopefully I can make up for it at nap time today.

302 19/12/12 16:19 to 19/12/12 17:41 1:22 I slept well

I came home from work and went straight to bed, and fell asleep quickly but woke up after about 20 minutes. I got back to sleep again but I think I woke up once more before sleeping until 5:40pm.

About 2 minutes after I woke up Yu Lee came home and chatted to me for a while until I got up. I felt somewhat refreshed, but I think I had quite a light sleep.
