Last night I went to bed at 12:45, and about 10 minutes later I heard the same noise that has been keeping me up each night. I put in my earplugs but I could still just about hear it through them as it was so bassy, but I still fell asleep relatively quickly after doing this.

This morning I felt a little sleepy, and I debated having a lay in for a few minutes, but then I accepted that I was getting up and jumped out of bed.

I felt tired this afternoon at work, and could have easily taken my nap at about 2:00pm. When I walked home, as usual I started to feel more alert.

When I got in my bed I fell asleep within minutes, and woke up about 5 minutes before my alarm went off. I felt refreshed.

Last night I was quite tired, but I didn't go to bed until just before 1:00. When I woke up this morning I really didn't feel like I wanted to get out of bed and I still feel a bit tired now.

I think maybe this is due to me drinking a couple of small beers with my dinner last night. It seems to me that alcohol reduces the quality of my sleep, so maybe I should go to bed a little bit earlier if I have drunk something alcoholic.

This was another nap where I woke up confused!

My alarm went off after 2 hours, and I turned it off and then laid there for a while trying to work out what was going on. After about 30 seconds I realised that I didn't need to get up and go to work and that it was actually dinner time!

The weird thing is that waking up to the ipod is totally different to waking up to my vibrating alarm clock, but when I am half asleep things like this aren't do obvious...

Last night I went to bed at 12:30am, but I didn't fall asleep until 1:00. I think, once again, this could be due to the amount of tea I drank.

I got up from my nap at about 6:30pm, and immediately had a cup of tea. Then, after my dinner at 8:00pm, I had another one. I thought that since I had a 5 hour gap that I could get away with it, but I had trouble sleeping again so maybe not.

My neighbours were playing music though, and I could still hear the bass line even with my earplugs in, so maybe that also had something to do with it.

Today, I didn't feel the need to nap at all while I was at work, and when I came home I was not as tired as usual. I went for my nap anyway and fell asleep straight away.

I think I woke up about 10 minutes later, and then I had a period of falling asleep and waking up. In the end my alarm went off after 2 hours and I was definitely sleeping because I woke up for a dream. I actually felt like I could have slept for longer afterwards!

I went to bed just after midnight last night and fell asleep straight away. This morning I woke up feeling quite tired, and now it is an hour later and the feeling has persisted. I think this may be due to waking up later and waking up from the middle of a sleep cycle.

When I went for my nap today, I put in my ear plugs and set my alarm for 7pm.

I woke up naturally from a dream and looked at the clock and thought "Oh no it's 6:45 I must have overslept for an hour". Then I suddenly realised that it was 6:45pm and I was just waking up from a nap.

I feel refreshed.

I originally went to bed at 12:30am, but I actually found it quite difficult to sleep. Just after 1:00am I put in my earplugs as my neighbours had their tv quite loud and reset the timer, and fell asleep soon afterwards.

I'm not sure why I couldn't sleep, but think it might be because I had 3 cups of tea after my dinner. I remember thinking "What the hell? I'm always tired at night time", but I guess it was too much caffeine. Or maybe I just wasn't tired...

I felt like I needed a nap at several points today between 2:00pm and getting home at 4:15pm. When I finally laid down for my nap I was definitely ready and I went straight to sleep.

When I woke up I felt like I could have slept a lot longer!

Last night it took me a little while to fall asleep, which is not surprising considering the amount of sleep I had yesterday! It wasn't frustrating though, and I felt nice and relaxed.

This morning wasn't the easiest it's ever been to get up. It seems that you can adjust to getting up later quite quickly!

Since I slept for such a long time last night, I really didn't think I would need to nap, but around 2:00pm I started to feel that it was nap time.

I managed to hold off going to sleep until 4:30pm, but then I gave in and had a great nap.

I set my alarm for 2 hours and woke up naturally about 5 minutes before my alarm.

This was my first full nights sleep in my own bed for a few days and I really enjoyed it!

My vibrating alarm went off at 5:30am, and I laid there for a while afterwards. Before I knew it, I had already drifted back to sleep for 20 minutes. I told Yu Lee that I wanted to sleep some more, and she said that I should do it then, so I set the alarm on my ipod for 7:00am and went back to sleep.

7:00am came and I woke up and thought "I'm not ready yet" and snoozed the alarm until 7:30 when I turned it off. Then I went back to sleep again and finally woke up just after 8:30.

I feel like I have been hibernating for ages - it is similar to how I used to feel when I slept until 2:00pm, but the cool thing is that it is not even 9:00 yet!

This nap was the first time I slept in my bed for days and it was amazing!

This morning I had the horrible job of taking ratty to the vets to be put down. This meant I could take this nap by myself, in my bed.

I set the alarm for 7:00 but I only remember waking up and turning it off at half past, which means I must have snoozed it for 30 minutes. This is why I prefer not to use my ipod as an alarm.

Eventually I found ratty under my computer desk, sleeping right up against a chest of drawers. I grabbed her and she went straight up my sleeve and slept there with me for a while. Eventually she got a bit too restless and I had to take her out.

I slept for a few more hours on the floor until 7:00am when Yu Lee came in and woke me up.

Last night I slept on the floor in the second bedroom (which doesn't have a bed) with ratty on a blanket next to me. The sofa is more comfortable in some ways but I can't have my legs straight so I decided to try this for a change.

I slept ok, but I did wake up a lot of times. Eventually I woke up at 4am and couldn't find ratty so I got up to search for her.

For my nap today I slept downstairs with ratty again. When I went downstairs she was pretty much asleep but she woke up a bit when I carried her downstairs.

I didn't feel that tired but I probably was because I fell asleep very quickly. I woke up at 2:00pm and went back to sleep again before finally waking up at half past.

When I woke up ratty started having convulsions, so I laid next to her until they stopped and carried her back upstairs.

This nap didn't feel that good, and it felt like my sleep quality was poor from laying on the sofa but I actually feel quite refreshed now.

Last night I slept down stairs again with ratty. I slept a lot better than the previous night, but it still wasn't the best quality sleep I've ever had.

At one point this morning ratty jumped off the side of the sofa and surprisingly it woke me up and I scooped her up and put her back on the sofa.

I'm really missing my bed at the moment!

This was s surprisingly good nap!

As my pet rat is slowly dying, I have decided to spend the rest of her life with her, so today I was working from home. As I had a very disturbed sleep last night, I was quite tired at midday so I went downstairs and slept on the sofa for a while.

I laid on my back with a blanket over me, and put my pet rat in between my arm and my chest. I woke up naturally after about 1:20 and my ratty had climbed into my armpit and was resting her head on my shoulder. The funny thing is that this is exactly how Yu Lee likes to sleep!

I had a much better sleep than I did last night, even if it was only 1.5 hours, and I felt refreshed afterwards.

As I couldn't sleep in the chair I decided to sleep on the sofa, with ratty sitting on my arm / chest. It was difficult to sleep and I am sure I woke up at least every hour and changed positions. It was really difficult to get both of my arms under the blanket without knocking ratty off.

Yu Lee came down at 5:30 but I told her I wanted another hour.

Today I am going to work from home so that ratty doesn't have to die alone.
