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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
