Last night I read in bed for a while before going to sleep. Next door were making some noise so I put in ear plugs which did a great job of blocking them out. When I finally decided to go to sleep I fell asleep really quickly, in a couple of minutes.

This morning I woke up at 3:30am. I laid in bed for a few minutes when I suddenly realised I had an ear plug in my hand, so I must have pulled it out in my sleep! As it was so early I decided to see if I could get back to sleep, so I dozed for about half an hour and eventually decided to get up at 4:00am.

In don't really know if I slept or not, but it felt like I was laying down for about ten minutes. I felt sleepy before laying down but I probably wasn't that tired - I think it is just that I'm used to going to sleep at that time.

I feel quite refreshed now so it was worth it!

I was feeling very sleepy this morning, so I decided to take a nap just after 10am. I was thinking to myself "I can't wait for my nap" when I decided actually I don't have to wait for it and decided to take it early.

This nap felt slightly different to my normal afternoon naps. I woke up after an hour which is really short, and I didn't feel like I'd slept so deeply. I feel a lot better now and it will be interesting to see whether I feel like taking another short nap this afternoon.

I think that has to be about the worst night's sleep I've had since I started sleeping biphasically!

After about an hour awake in the middle of the night I laid down on the floor to test how sleepy I was (I didn't want to disturb Yu Lee going in and out) and I realised I would probably sleep if I went back to bed. When I got back in bed I fell asleep straight away but I think I woke up at 3:30, and then 4:30, so when I woke up again at 5:30 I thought it was definitely time to get up.

I feel like I could go to sleep now. I feel like I could probably sleep forever like that, as the quality of my sleep was so poor that I would probably never stop being tired enough to sleep!

We have recently got our house insulated, and the temperature inside is a little higher than it used to be. I wonder if the new temperature is what was stopping me from sleeping properly...

...and once I did finally fall asleep, I woke up after 3 hours.

I laid in bed for a while as I didn't really want to get up at 1:30am, but as I laid there I started to feel overwhelmingly hot. When I got up my whole body was really hot and I wouldn't be surprised if I was ill.

I got a glass of water which cooled me off and I am sitting at my mac in the dark. I don't think it will be long before I come back to bed. I hope I am not ill!

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.
