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.

Not much to report: I fell asleep quickly, and then woke up easily.

Today I worked from home, so I made sure I had finished my 7 hours work by 2:00pm so that I could go for an early nap. I fell asleep relatively quickly, but I think I woke up after about half an hour. I decided this was way to short and went back to sleep, which took a little while.

When I woke up the second time I had been sleeping for a total of 2.5 hours, and I woke up from a dream, although I can't remember it any more.

This time I did manage to sleep. It took me a while to get back to sleep, probably about 15 minutes, and when my alarm went off 2 hours later I was still tired and snoozed it for 10 minutes. The weird thing is that it felt a lot longer than 10 minutes and I had a long and complicated dream in that time.

I felt like I could have slept longer, but I am already starting to wake up now. Hopefully I can survive until my nap!

I tried to go back to sleep at 3:30 but it turned out that I still want tired. After laying in bed with my eyes closed for half an hour I decided that my body obviously doesn't want to sleep at the moment and got back up.

I have absolutely no idea what time I will need to nap today but I am working from home so I guess it doesn't matter too much...

Last night I didn't get hungry until late, so I ended up eating a salad at 10:00pm, followed by some bourbon biscuits. I went to bed just after 11:00pm and fell asleep pretty quickly.

Just after 2:00am I woke up naturally, and felt wide awake. At first I tried to go back to sleep, but after about 10 minutes of laying in bed I realised there was no way I was going back to sleep so I got up. I'm not sure what time I'll go back to bed again!

I guess most people would be worried, and would lay in bed for the rest of the night thinking they have some kind of sleep disorder. I am sitting in the study in the dark, with the brightness turned all of the way down on my Mac and the colour settings changed to make the light from the monitor come out orange (using f.lux). I guess I will just see what happens.

Today we had our work Christmas lunch, so we went to a pub from 12:00 until 3:00. I had ribs for my main course, and afterwards I was totally stuffed. I also had 2.5 pints of beer which made the last hour of work very productive!

When I got home I was more than ready for my nap, and I passed out within 5 minutes. I was hoping for a long deep sleep, but I knew it was unlikely as alcohol isn't exactly great for sleep quality.

I woke up after 1.5 hours and felt pretty good. About 5 minutes after I woke up Yu Lee came back home from work, so she sat with me in the bedroom for a while. I was feeling super relaxed and it was nice to sit with her for a while. She went off to make herself something to eat and I got out of bed at 6:30, so I was laying there for 45 minutes! I didn't mind though as I normally sleep for that time and I felt nice and relaxed.

Last night I was feeling moderately tired when I went to bed, and to be honest I was not sure that I would sleep easily after such a long nap, but I must have fallen asleep within minutes as I have no recollection of laying in bed.

This morning I woke up naturally just after half past four. I was dreaming that I was back in school, and my little brother was in trouble. I went to see him and he told me that he was being expelled for doing something to one of the girls in his class. I got angry at him and hit him in the face for being so stupid.

When I went for my nap I fell asleep very quickly but woke up after an hour. I was going to log my sleep when I noticed how short it was and decided to go back to sleep.

When I woke up the second time I was dreaming. I have no idea what I was dreaming about now, but when I woke up I remembered it clearly and started to talk it through in my head, but I though it was way to complicated to write down and gave up on trying to remember it.

I feel slightly groggy now, which is not unusual for a sleep of this length, and it took me a good 15 minutes to crawl out of my bed, but I am starting to feel good again and at least I won't be tired this evening.

Last night I started to feel a bit tired at about 11:00, so I went straight to bed without Yu Lee. When Yu Lee came in half an hour later I was still awake but only just, but her coming in disturbed me a bit and woke me up, so I think it was at least 11:45 by the time I fell asleep.

Although it took me a while to fall asleep I didn't feel frustrated and enjoyed relaxing in the bed. When my alarm went at 5:00 though, I didn't find it quite so easy to get up but I still managed to do it.

As it is a weekend I could take my nap a bit earlier than usual. This morning we went to town to finish our Christmas shopping, and after we got back seemed like the perfect time to take a nap.

Yu Lee came with me for my nap and it is the first time we have napped together for ages! I fell asleep easily in a couple of minutes and woke up naturally after an hour and a half. I feel good!

Last night I had a massive meal in town with one of my friends, and then walked back home and arrived at about 10:30pm. When I got back I drank a bit of water and came to bed at 11:00. It was the first night in ages that Yu Lee went to bed before me.

Because I woke up at 4:30am naturally yesterday, I actually switched my alarm off so that it wouldn't wake Yu Lee up at 5:00. This morning I woke up naturally at 5:05 and realised that I hadn't turned it back on, but it didn't matter because I woke up at the correct time anyway!

Considering I was so uncomfortably full last night, and that I had a glass of wine and some beer, I actually slept well and didn't need any extra sleep.

Today I felt very tired for a lot of the day at work, and I think I felt most tired at about 2:00pm. By the time it got to home time I was feeling a little more awake but still definitely in need of my nap!

This evening I had arranged to see one of my Spanish friends who lives in London but was in Cambridge for a conference. By the time my nap time had come around I still wasn't 100% sure what was going to happen. I sent her a text asking if she wanted to eat together and what time to meet and went for my nap.

2 hours later I woke up 2 minutes before my alarm was due to go off. I looked at my phone and she had replied and said to meet her at 7:00 to eat, so I quickly made a cup of tea and drank it, and then Yu Lee dropped me in town.

I managed the whole evening without reverting back to English once, so my nap obviously worked and stopped me from feeling tired. I really needed it today!

Last night I went to bed when Yu Lee was tired, at about 10:40pm. We chatted in bed for 10 minutes and then I reset the timer and went to sleep.

It took me a little bit longer than usual to fall asleep, and I vaguely remember looking at the clock at about 11:30. As with previous nights, I don't remember laying in bed for this long and it wasn't at all frustrating, so I think I may have drifted into a light sleep before then and seen the clock when I woke up briefly to roll over.

I woke up naturally this morning at 4:25am from a dream. When I woke up I wasn't sure if it was morning, or if I had woken from a nap.

I came in from work and went straight to bed and fell asleep very quickly, probably in about 5 minutes. I woke up naturally after 1:40 and could have easily gone back to sleep, but decided it was better to wake up.

I felt really drowsy still until I turned on my lamp which instantly made me feel more awake, but I still laid in bed for 15 minutes afterwards. I was expecting Yu Lee to be home already but when I opened the door I realised I was on my own.

Yesterday I got quite a lot of sleep - I had 6 hours the previous night and 2 hours in the afternoon. For some reason I felt sleepy all evening. Maybe it was because I woke up from my nap and let myself go back to sleep, but I'm not really sure why.

In the end I went to bed just before 11:00pm and got up at 5:00. I woke up and got out of bed pretty much straight away and felt really alert.

Towards the end of work I started to feel tired, but I was feeling a bit more awake by the time I got home. I was hungry so I had a tiny bowl of cornflakes, which turned out to be a bad idea! When I went to bed I laid there for 10 minutes picking the bits out of my teeth before reseting the timer.

I woke up when Yu Lee came in at 5:40, and I heard her coming up the stairs, but I easily (and accidentally) fell back to sleep. I had a vivid dream about having an alternate reality that I could get to through a wardrobe in my house, and woke up naturally after the dream.

Afterwards I felt like I could easily go back to sleep again but thought I'd probably better not and turned the light on. I called Yu Lee in and we chatted until 7:00 when I got up.

Yesterday my nap was a little shorter, so I got tired a bit earlier than usual. I went to bed at 11:00pm and fell asleep straight away.

This morning I woke up easily to the alarm and bounced straight out of bed.

Today at work I came over sleepy at about 12:00 but after an hour or so it passed and I felt fine. When I got in my bed all of the tiredness came back and I fell asleep in less than 5 minutes.

When Yu Lee came home I heard her and it woke me up, and for some reason this made me feel quite angry. I was still sleepy so I laid in bed for another half hour but I should have probably just got up. Still it was nice to lay in bed and the time went very quickly.

When I did finally get up I realised that I was being unreasonable being angry with Yu Lee as I probably would have woke up soon anyway.

It was 11:30pm by the time I settled down to go to sleep last night, and I had felt pretty tired for the previous hour. I didn't fall asleep straight away though. I think I drifted in and out for a while as I remember looking at the clock and seeing 1:45am. I didn't feel frustrated and I don't remember laying there for a long time so I probably fell asleep and woke up a few times.

This morning when the alarm went off I was dreaming. I don't remember exactly what the dream was about but I remember it took place in a school and it was very vivid. Maybe I should start keeping a dream journal!

After the alarm I felt a little sleepy, and I thought "Maybe I should set another alarm for 5:30" but in the end I realised it was better to just get up.
