My pet rat is really sick today: I think she will be dead in the next 24 hours. She really doesn't want to go back in her cage so I have decided to stay with her until she dies.

I tried to sleep downstairs sitting on my arm chair with my feet up and a small blanket over me, with my pet rat sitting on my lap. I didn't really get any proper sleep though as it was too uncomfortable.

I think I drifted off for a while, but then I woke up because ratty was panicking and bouncing around. I calmed her down and then got up to go to the bathroom.

Although I have marked this sleep as having slept well, I was not asleep for all of it and I woke up half way through. It took me at least 20 minutes to fall asleep, and I was definitely awake at 17:45 when Yu Lee came home but I went back to sleep.

When my alarm went off I felt like I had been in bed for a long time but I really couldn't be bothered to get up! I feel quite refreshed but not 100%.

Yesterday I didn't manage to sleep for my nap, and then in the evening I went out for a language exchange and had a few beers. I went to bed around midnight, which felt quite late as I had been up since 5:30am.

This morning I am definitely more tired than usual, and I did feel like I had a very mild hangover. I remember fragments of a dream from last night.

Today I was wide awake all day. When I got home I tried to sleep but I was nowhere near tired enough.

I think I have paid off my sleep debt now, and I will reduce my nightly sleeping hours again.

Last night I went to bed at about 11:45pm, and I didn't get to sleep until after midnight.

I laid in bed for a while, but then I could hear some music playing from another house. It was quiet but really bassy and it was preventing me from falling asleep.

In the end I decided to put in my earplugs, and after that I fell asleep very quickly.

This morning I felt good when I woke up.

I got up from my failed nap attempt, and I went straight into the other room to use the computer without getting dressed. After about 5 minutes I felt really cold so I jumped back in my bed to warm up.

I had no intention of sleeping, but I fell straight asleep and slept for an hour, and then woke up naturally.

I slept 7.5 hours last night, and I have felt alert all day. When I got in from work I tried to sleep but I couldn't, so I got up after 45 minutes...

I had an extra long sleep last night to make up for my missed nap. I decided to sleep 7.5 hours from 10:00 until 5:30.

This morning I feel tired! I feel like I could have easily slept a few more hours, and I feel much more sleepy than usual.

Yu Lee's watch alarm woke me up and now I am angry.

This morning when I woke up I felt really good - this is the most alert I have ever felt after waking up at 5:30.

This morning we went rollerblading for a few hours, and then went into town and ate a massive burger for lunch. By 3:00pm I was definitely ready for my sleep!

I fell asleep easily, and when my alarm went off at 5:00pm I felt like I could have slept for a few more hours. I was initially groggy, but it wore off pretty much straight away one I had opened the curtains.

This was a great nap!

Last night I went out for a curry with my friends, and had 1 pint of beer with my dinner. When we got home we had a few hours before bed, but my stomach still felt quite full. I was pretty tired so I went to bed at 11:30pm.

This morning was the first morning in ages that required some willpower to get out of bed! Maybe my quality of sleep wasn't as good as usual because I felt quite tired when I woke up. I feel pretty good now though.

When I woke up I think I was dreaming. I dreamt that it was 4:30am and I couldn't sleep! I was very surprised when my alarm went off and it was actually 5:30 and time to get up.

When I got in from work today I didn't feel tired at all, probably because I had a longer sleep last night than usual. I really didn't think I stood any chance of sleeping but I did drift off after a few minutes.

Yu Lee came in at 6:00pm and I got up. I feel refreshed, but it wasn't as good as a nice 2 hour nap.

I am planning on sleeping when I am tired for a while instead of going to be at 1:00am. If it interferes with my naps I will revert back to having a set bed time.

Last night I was a little bit tired so I went to bed at 11:30pm. I slept well and even remember one of my dreams.

When I got in from work today I wasn't particularly tired, and I wasn't sure whether to take my nap or not. I'm glad I did because I slept well and it was a great nap!

I woke up when Yu Lee got into bed with me. I have recorded the time that I woke up, but I actually stayed in bed an extra 20 minutes.

Waking up gently like this means that I feel no grogginess at all after my nap.

Last night was the first night that I have slept my normal hours for a long time!

For some reason it actually took me a while to get to sleep last night, which was strange as I normally fall asleep straight away (at least while I'm doing this sleeping pattern). I felt sleepy during the early evening yesterday, but at the end of the evening I was wide awake. I could be because I was trying to figure out why my web server was using so much memory...

When I got in from work, I was a bit tired but not a lot, and I wasn't sure if I would sleep or not. I laid down to sleep and must have drifted off, because Yu Lee came in over an hour later and it only felt like about 20 minutes.

Yu Lee came in to sleep as well, but I was already awake when she came in so we ended up talking about her work for a while and then I got up.

It wasn't the best nap in the world but I'm sure I slept for some of it, so it's a step in the right direction.

Yesterday I didn't really get a chance to have a nap. When I got home from my course I had dinner, and then a little while afterwards Yu Lee arrived to pick me up.

I was so tired when I got home at 10:00pm that I decided to go straight to bed.

I slept through solidly, and was dreaming when I woke up naturally this morning at 4:30. I did remember my dream at the time but I don't any more.

When you go to take a nap, especially when it is dark already, I would highly recommend actually setting the alarm!

I set the time for my alarm, settled down to sleep, and then woke up 8.5 hours later. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to actually turn it on. :-(

I feel like I have been asleep for quite a while, and I have a different kind of grogginess to usual. I really need to be more careful next time!

I was in a course today, and towards the end of it I was starting feel quite sleepy. Unfortunately, when I arrived back at Yu Lee's mum's place I wasn't so tired, and when I tried to sleep I couldn't.

I slept 6 hours last night which is probably why I wasn't tired this afternoon. I still need to learn how to deal more effectively with missed naps!
