24 22/08/12 16:58 to 22/08/12 17:20 0:22 I didn't sleep at all

When I got in from work today I was not particularly tired, but got a bit drowsy about 15 minutes before my nap. I read a little and then settled down to sleep.

Again I didn't sleep, but I came close to it. I tried to empty my mind and my body felt very heavy. 22 minutes went very quickly and when my alarm beeped I took off my mask and felt alert.

23 22/08/12 12:20 to 22/08/12 12:42 0:22 I didn't sleep at all

This is the first nap that I haven't been able to sleep for. I felt tired this morning, but about half an hour before my nap I suddenly felt very alert and awake.

When I got home at lunch time I laid in my bed for the correct amount of time but couldn't sleep.

22 22/08/12 06:58 to 22/08/12 07:20 0:22 I slept well

I slept with my ipod playing some pink noise while my girlfriend took her morning shower. I think I fell asleep quicker this time, and was fast asleep when the alarm went off.

I feel a bit refreshed but I really want some more sleep!

21 21/08/12 23:26 to 22/08/12 02:30 3:04 I slept well

I really didn't want to wake up for that one.

I was a bit confused what was going on, as I am using my vibrating alarm clock, and I don't really remember turning it off. I could easily have slept the night through but I guess that is to be expected.

This definitely feels very unnatural - I still feel like I have got up in the middle of the night. Also my eyes are quite bloodshot and watery.

20 21/08/12 16:56 to 21/08/12 17:18 0:22 I slept well

This was my last nap of the day. I found it slightly harder to sleep for this, even though I was more tired. I feel somewhat refreshed now, but not completely normal.

I'm hungry!

19 21/08/12 12:16 to 21/08/12 12:38 0:22 I slept well

These 20 minute naps don't feel like normal sleeps! I am not sure that I fell properly asleep, or how long it took me to drift off but I was definitely asleep when the alarm went off.

I feel like I could sleep for another couple of hours though...

18 21/08/12 07:03 to 21/08/12 07:25 0:22 I slept well

I set my timer for 22 minutes and had my first nap.

I think I spent some of it in a half-awake, half-asleep state and I definitely dreamed. I was asleep when my timer went off and I feel somewhat refreshed - but still tired!

I was really tired beforehand and felt I could drift away immediately until about 5 minutes before I took my nap!

17 20/08/12 23:21 to 21/08/12 02:30 3:09 I slept well

It's official - this experiment has begun!

Considering I was only asleep for 3 hours, I had a pretty broken sleep. I woke up at 0:30 and 2:00, I think because of noises outside.

When my new vibrating alarm clock finally went off at 2:30 I was straight up! I feel pretty tired now, but as it's the first night it feels like getting up early for something like going to the airport.

16 20/08/12 00:07 to 20/08/12 06:34 6:27 I slept well

This was my last sleep in Spain, and with a bit of luck my last monophasic sleep for a while. I am not planning on napping today as I have slept practically a full night's sleep, and I will begin my polyphasic schedule tonight at 23:30.

Wish me luck!

15 19/08/12 16:27 to 19/08/12 17:20 0:52 I slept well
14 19/08/12 01:02 to 19/08/12 08:19 7:17 I slept well

We went out for steaks at Alberto's last night and drunk a fair bit. After we'd paid the bill and all probably had enough to drink, he gave us another round for free.

I slept through until 5:00am when I woke up to go to the toilet and get more water. After that I had a pretty broken sleep, and snoozed my alarm for about half an hour this morning. I feel pretty good now though!

13 18/08/12 16:22 to 18/08/12 17:04 0:41 I slept well
12 18/08/12 01:02 to 18/08/12 08:21 7:19 I slept well

We ate out at the Venicia with Phil last night. I felt absolutely fine this morning.

11 17/08/12 15:45 to 17/08/12 16:21 0:35 I slept well

I had a few beers this afternoon, something to eat, a nice swim and then a siesta! I fell asleep straight away, and afterwards I felt refreshed, but I could have easily slept longer. I think 20 minute naps are going to be hard to get used to!

10 17/08/12 01:30 to 17/08/12 07:22 5:52 I slept well

I feel pretty good considering the amount of wine I drunk last night, and that I only had 6 hours sleep.

EDIT: Actually as the morning went on I felt a bit more hungover and very hot. Not too bad though...

8 16/08/12 17:14 to 16/08/12 18:01 0:47 I slept well

I had a lovely mixture of beer and (free) tapas, and fell asleep instantly for my siesta.

7 16/08/12 04:07 to 16/08/12 09:40 5:33 I slept well

I arrived in Spain at 2:20 local time which is 1:20 UK time. My sleep logs are still going to be in UK time. When I got to bed it was about 5am and the cocks were already crowing! I was knackered and fell straight asleep. I set an alarm as I would have slept all day otherwise.

9 16/08/12 00:10 to 16/08/12 00:45 0:35 I slept well

I managed to get half an hour of sleep in the extremely uncomfortable easyjet chairs on my way to Spain.

6 15/08/12 00:00 to 15/08/12 07:41 7:41 I slept well

I slept surprisingly well last night, considering that I ate a big meal out and had a few pints in the pub too. This morning I snoozed for half an hour and then laid awake for about 10 minutes. I didn't want to get up, but I don't feel too tired.

5 14/08/12 01:20 to 14/08/12 07:42 6:21 I slept well

I Initially went to bed at 11:30 last night but couldn't sleep at all. I think in the end I was still awake at 2:00 but I reset the timer on here before I went to bed. I'm not sure why I couldn't sleep, but I did drink more tea than usual. I also had something I couldn't stop thinking about...
