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.

This was my first full nights sleep in my own bed for a few days and I really enjoyed it!

My vibrating alarm went off at 5:30am, and I laid there for a while afterwards. Before I knew it, I had already drifted back to sleep for 20 minutes. I told Yu Lee that I wanted to sleep some more, and she said that I should do it then, so I set the alarm on my ipod for 7:00am and went back to sleep.

7:00am came and I woke up and thought "I'm not ready yet" and snoozed the alarm until 7:30 when I turned it off. Then I went back to sleep again and finally woke up just after 8:30.

I feel like I have been hibernating for ages - it is similar to how I used to feel when I slept until 2:00pm, but the cool thing is that it is not even 9:00 yet!

This nap was the first time I slept in my bed for days and it was amazing!

This morning I had the horrible job of taking ratty to the vets to be put down. This meant I could take this nap by myself, in my bed.

I set the alarm for 7:00 but I only remember waking up and turning it off at half past, which means I must have snoozed it for 30 minutes. This is why I prefer not to use my ipod as an alarm.

Eventually I found ratty under my computer desk, sleeping right up against a chest of drawers. I grabbed her and she went straight up my sleeve and slept there with me for a while. Eventually she got a bit too restless and I had to take her out.

I slept for a few more hours on the floor until 7:00am when Yu Lee came in and woke me up.

Last night I slept on the floor in the second bedroom (which doesn't have a bed) with ratty on a blanket next to me. The sofa is more comfortable in some ways but I can't have my legs straight so I decided to try this for a change.

I slept ok, but I did wake up a lot of times. Eventually I woke up at 4am and couldn't find ratty so I got up to search for her.

For my nap today I slept downstairs with ratty again. When I went downstairs she was pretty much asleep but she woke up a bit when I carried her downstairs.

I didn't feel that tired but I probably was because I fell asleep very quickly. I woke up at 2:00pm and went back to sleep again before finally waking up at half past.

When I woke up ratty started having convulsions, so I laid next to her until they stopped and carried her back upstairs.

This nap didn't feel that good, and it felt like my sleep quality was poor from laying on the sofa but I actually feel quite refreshed now.

Last night I slept down stairs again with ratty. I slept a lot better than the previous night, but it still wasn't the best quality sleep I've ever had.

At one point this morning ratty jumped off the side of the sofa and surprisingly it woke me up and I scooped her up and put her back on the sofa.

I'm really missing my bed at the moment!

This was s surprisingly good nap!

As my pet rat is slowly dying, I have decided to spend the rest of her life with her, so today I was working from home. As I had a very disturbed sleep last night, I was quite tired at midday so I went downstairs and slept on the sofa for a while.

I laid on my back with a blanket over me, and put my pet rat in between my arm and my chest. I woke up naturally after about 1:20 and my ratty had climbed into my armpit and was resting her head on my shoulder. The funny thing is that this is exactly how Yu Lee likes to sleep!

I had a much better sleep than I did last night, even if it was only 1.5 hours, and I felt refreshed afterwards.

As I couldn't sleep in the chair I decided to sleep on the sofa, with ratty sitting on my arm / chest. It was difficult to sleep and I am sure I woke up at least every hour and changed positions. It was really difficult to get both of my arms under the blanket without knocking ratty off.

Yu Lee came down at 5:30 but I told her I wanted another hour.

Today I am going to work from home so that ratty doesn't have to die alone.

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.
