Last night I went to bed at about 12:15, and when I went to bed it was silent. I was just getting nice and relaxed when the noise started again at about 12:30. This time it wasn't as loud, and my earplugs did a decent job of blocking it out, so I fell asleep pretty easily once I put them in.

Another great nap. I think I woke up half way through, but went straight back to sleep. When the alarm finally went off I felt I could have slept longer.

I went to bed at 12:45am and once again was kept awake for at least half an hour due to low frequency noise coming from next door.

I didn't feel that sleepy beforehand but I think I fell asleep in minutes. I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm.

I was feeling tired last night and my stomach was hurting so I went to bed at about 11:40, but I still didn't really sleep until after midnight. Again I heard a bassy noise coming from next door.

This morning I laid in bed for about half an hour and actually got up at 6:00am. I was debating having a lay in, but by the time I finished debating it I had woken up already.

I also thought it was Sunday and was bitterly disappointed when I realised it was Monday morning and I had to go to work :-(

This was a great nap with a very strange waking experience.

About 5 minutes before the alarm was due I was having a very vivid dream, when I suddenly heard music playing which woke me up. The music was loud enough for me to make out the tune, and as I woke up I remember thinking 'wow next door are playing their music loud'. As I became more and more awake, the music faded out and I realised that it was just part of my dream!

It seems next door are always keeping me up with their noise. Now they are even coming into my dreams and waking me up!

Last night I went to bed at midnight to try and catch up on a little bit of sleep. I was just drifting off when the 'bassy sound' woke me up again. I'm not sure if it is next door playing music or what, but it is a very low pitch noise that I can hear even with ear plugs, especially when my head is in contact with the pillow. I can't make out a tune, and it is not that loud, but I can almost feel it and it makes it very difficult to sleep.

After half an hour I tried putting ear plugs in, and realised they had no effect and took them back out again.

I would have been very disappointed if this nap wasn't good, as I felt the urge to nap several times between 11:00am and 2:00pm today.

I went to bed with Yu Lee as it is Saturday, and at first I thought she might make it difficult to sleep. I pretty soon fell off into a lovely dep sleep, and when I woke up I was having a certain type of dream that I used to have a lot of when I kept my dream journal. It's a type of dream where I am kind of playing a computer game, but somehow it is real life as well. It's like half way between real life and a game.

I could have easily slept a few more hours but I do feel refreshed.

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.
