This was another really nice nap on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I initially started to feel a little sleepy around midday, but somehow it took me an hour to get into my bed and to settle down. Yu Lee ended up coming with me for the first time in ages which is always nice, although it took a bit of convincing to get her to give me enough space to actually sleep!

I'm not sure how long it took me to sleep but I felt like I was drifting in and out for a little while. I slept for quite a while and eventually woke up from a dream at about 2:45pm. I dreamt that Yu Lee was trying to park her car inside my nan's kitchen!

I really enjoyed my nap today!

Last night I felt pretty tired for some reason, so when Yu Lee decided to go to bed at 9:30pm I decided to join her.

I didn't fall asleep straight away. I remember looking at the clock and seeing that it was 10:00pm, so it took at least half an hour to properly fall asleep, but I think I may have been drifting in and out by that time and it was nice and relaxing.

The first time I woke up last night was at 11:30pm so I'd probably been asleep for about 1.5 hours. I could have easily got up then but I was trying to have a full night's sleep and not a nap! I got back to sleep easily and slept through the rest of the night and woke up naturally at 4:15am. I still felt like I could have gone back to sleep if I'd wanted to, despite the fact that I'd been asleep for nearly 7 hours which is a lot for me!

Today I had a lovely little nap!

I fell asleep in about 5 minutes, and slept through for about 45 minutes and woke up at 2:05. I logged the end of my sleep but was in no hurry to get up so I allowed myself to fall asleep again and woke up again at 2:25 when Yu Lee flushed the toilet. After that I adjusted the times on my sleep log and laid in bed for another 20 minutes or so.

This was a really enjoyable nap! It always feels much better to nap in the middle of the day and it's lovely to just lay in bed afterwards and relax. I just wish I could do this every day...

Yesterday I felt quite tired so I went to bed a bit earlier than usual. I slept through solidly and woke from a dream when my alarm went off this morning at 4:30am, but I don't really remember anything about the dream.

Today I felt like I could have slept longer in the morning, and especially towards the second half of the day I really felt like I could have done with a nap. When I got home I still felt pretty tired and when I laid down in my bed I drifted off in about 5 minutes.

I had a nice sleep and felt like I slept quite deeply, but by 5:10pm when Yu Lee came home I was sleeping lightly enough to be woken by the flush on the toilet.

Now I feel refreshed, but like another 15 minutes would have been nice!

Last night I was pretty tired. I don't know why but somehow travelling back from London seems to have tired me out, even though it just involved sitting in the car and being driven!

I fell asleep pretty quickly last night, probably in just a few minutes and slept solidly through until my alarm went off at 4:30. I tried to turn my alarm off but I must have snoozed it by accident, which was a good job because it woke me up again 8 minutes later!

I feel pretty tired today. Hopefully I will have a good nap after work and that will sort me out for this evening!

Today was the last day of my course and my last day in London. We finished early but I ended up going for a pint with Carlos, so I got back a little later than usual.

I went to bed around 6:00pm and I think I fell asleep after about 15 minutes, although I didn't feel like it was a particularly deep sleep. I woke up because Yu Lee was climbing on top of me to wake me up!

After my nap I had tea, then dinner, and now it is time to go home.

I got to sleep shortly after 11:10pm, and slept through until 3:30am. I then went back to sleep and woke up from a dream at 4:10am, and finally slept through until 4:30am when my alarm went off.

I feel a little more tired than usual, possibly due to my broken sleep towards the end of the night.

I felt relatively tired when I went to bed, but something kept going round my mind and I didn't sleep for a while...

Today in class I really struggled to stay awake, but as usual I started to wake up towards the end of the day.

When I got back to Yu Lee's mum's house I felt tired but not really sleepy. My eyes were watering a bit and I knew I needed to sleep so I went straight to bed, and I recorded 14 minutes of 'did not sleep' separately. After that I think it took at least another 10 minutes to fall asleep.

Once I'd drifted off I slept like a log until my alarm went off at 7:15pm. I think I could have probably slept a bit longer than that. Tonight I will try to resist the temptation to go to bed early!

I recorded 14 minutes of laying in bed before I fell asleep.

As I didn't manage to sleep for my nap yesterday I was really tired in the evening, so in the end I went to bed just after 9:30pm.

I fell asleep in about 5-10 minutes, and initially woke up early this morning just after 3am. I went back to sleep and drifted in and out a couple of times and eventually got up at 4:12am. I had set my alarm for 4:30.

I'm not 100% sure if I've had enough sleep to make it through the day! Hopefully I won't find it too hard to stay awake in class and will be able to nap when I get home.

After trying hard not to sleep all day on my course, when I finally got the chance to sleep I couldn't! I rested for about an hour and then got up.

I very nearly fell asleep at one point but not quite! It's probably because I slept so much yesterday...

Last night I started to feel a bit sleepy around 10:00pm, even though I'd only been awake for a couple of hours!

I went to bed at 10:15 and set my alarm for 4:30. I think it probably took me about 10 minutes to fall asleep and I actually woke up naturally at 4:03am and recorded the end of my sleep. After that I laid in bed for a while and the next thing I knew it was 4:30 and my alarm was going off.

Today I was in a course in central London, and it was so boring! I found it a real struggle to stay awake despite the fact that I've had a bit of extra sleep the past couple of days.

My course finished at 4:30pm and by the time I'd got back to Yu Lee's mum's house it was about 5:15. I went straight to bed to sleep but I wasn't quite so tired by this time. I logged the first 16 minutes as 'did not sleep' and I think it probably took me another 5 minutes to fall asleep, but once I drifted off I had a nice long, deep sleep with at least one dream (which I don't remember now).

When I woke up I had a pretty much perfect cup of tea and then some really tasty Chinese style stewed pork with rice!

It took me just over 15 minutes to fall asleep.

Last night I started to feel tired around 9:30 which was surprising because I'd had such a long nap. I stayed up until 10:30 and when I did go to bed I fell asleep very quickly.

I remember waking up from a dream around midnight but I don't remember the dream any more. I got back to sleep easily and slept through until my alarm at 4:30.

When my alarm went off I still felt quite tired. I thought I would probably wake up naturally around 4:00 but I felt like I could have slept longer. I hope I don't feel too sleepy during my course today!

This week I have a course in London so I am going to be staying with Yu Lee's mum from today until Thursday.

We arrived in London this morning and went to Wood Green to get food, and afterwards I ate and went for my nap. I felt a bit tied but I wasn't sure if I would sleep easily as I normally don't sleep quite as well when I am away from home (although if I am away Yu Lee's mum's house is probably the best place to nap!), but in the end I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and slept for quite a long time!

When I woke up I thought I'd only been asleep for a short while so I was surprised when I looked at the clock and saw how late it was. I woke from a dream and felt super refreshed. I'm not sure if I will be able to nap this week as I will be getting home late...

Last night I began to feel a little sleepy around 9pm, and by 10:30 I was definitely ready for sleep. I went to bed and fell asleep easily and quickly, and slept through solidly until 4:10am this morning when I woke up naturally from a dream.

It looks like my random sleep yesterday hasn't affected my sleeping pattern too much!

I think this morning I made a bit of a mistake in setting my alarm so early. Splitting my sleep up into multiple chunks would probably result in needing less overall sleep if I were used to it, but as I am not it resulted in me feeling very tired.

After I got up this morning I really struggled to stay awake for the first hour or so but after that I pretty much just watched youtube videos (of TED talks) and then went for a bath. When I got out of the bath I decided it was nap time already, even though it was only 9:15 and went to bed.

I fell asleep in about 5 - 10 minutes and then I drifted off into a nice deep sleep with lots of dreams (although I only remember vague fragments now). I woke up several times, and just after I finally woke up Yu Lee came in and got in bed with me so we laid there for about another 40 minutes.

Now I feel great! Well worth it!
