Today I went to a bar at lunch time for some Spanish conversation, and then in the afternoon I had just over an hour at the office before home time. When I got back from work I was still feeling a little groggy from my beer and when I went to bed I fell asleep in just over 10 minutes (I saw the clock when I rolled over just before falling asleep).

I slept through for a while, and when I opened my eyes I remember thinking that I hadn't been asleep for long. I laid there for a few minutes and then when I looked at the clock again I realised I had read it wrong and I'd actually had an hour and a half.

This was a nice nap!

Last night we went to bed just before 11:00pm and chatted for about 20 minutes before we went to sleep. I fell asleep extremely quickly and slept through until about 4:15am when I woke up naturally and then dozed for 15 minutes.

When my alarm clock changed to 4:29 I had my eyes open so I turned the alarm off, and the next time I glanced at it it already said 4:31 so I turned it back on again ready for tomorrow!

I suppose this just goes to show that I am getting enough sleep, even if I didn't sleep properly for my nap yesterday.

Today I felt quite sleepy when I first got up but after about 15 minutes I felt fine and I have felt fine all day. I started to feel sleepy again around 2:30pm so I decided to take a nap.

In the first 20 minutes I actually looked at the clock 3 times, and then marked my sleep in red on the sleep chart and started it again. After that I put on my sleep mask and after a short while took it off and ended the sleep. This time 40 more minutes had passed so I must have fallen asleep for a while.

I don't really feel tired now but I don't feel like I slept properly. It seems like I simply don't need much sleep at the moment for some reason.

Last night we were playing Guild Wars 2 until about 11:30pm when we went to bed. It's difficult to go straight to sleep after playing so we ended up laying in bed and talking for a while.

When we finally turned out the light I was asleep in seconds! I set my alarm for 4:50am as we had gone to bed so late, but when it went off I struggled to get up so I probably should have set it later. After my alarm went off I ended up dozing in bed for about 15 minutes. I was dreaming when my alarm went off.

Today I had my driving lesson and then relaxed at home for a while before going for my nap. I could hear a few (very quiet) noises from next door and I really didn't want to be disturbed so I put in ear plugs and put on my sleep mask and went to sleep.

The first half of my sleep was very light. I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and then I remember opening my eyes after about 40 minutes and looking at the clock and thinking that I must have slept because it only felt like about 10 minutes had passed. I took my eye mask off and removed my earplugs, and although I thought it was unlikely that I would fall asleep again I decided to wait for 5 minutes before getting up.

I dozed off in about 5 minutes and then went into a lovely deep sleep! I slept through solidly for over an hour and woke up when Yu Lee came in to wake me (I woke up when she opened the door so I must have been in a light sleep by this time). This felt like one of my old naps! I felt great afterwards, like I'd had an amazing sleep. Hopefully this will start to happen more often again...

Yesterday I didn't really manage to have my nap, so I was actually pretty surprised that I managed to stay up so late! Even though I went to bed late I kept my alarm set at 4:30, and I slept through solidly until my alarm went off this morning. When I woke up I was dreaming.

This morning when I woke up, I was just about to get out of bed when Yu Lee cuddled up to me, and I couldn't bring myself to push her away straight away so I ended up laying in bed for 10 minutes after my alarm. I didn't feel tired though, and even though it was pitch black I easily managed to stay awake.

Just checking!

Today I felt a bit sleepy and I'm pretty sure I could have slept around 2:30pm, but when I came home I couldn't sleepy despite feeling tired. I laid in bed for a long time, and the time did go pretty quickly and felt good, but in the end I got up without sleeping. I know for sure I didn't sleep because I looked at the clock every 20 minutes.

Last night Yu Lee was tired so we ended going to bed a little earlier, and as I didn't want to sleep too long I set my alarm back to 4:30am.

I fell asleep quickly and slept through until about 3:00am when I woke up from a dream. I felt quite alert and thought it was morning, but when I realised what time it was I went back to sleep and woke up again at about 4:15am from another dream. I dozed for about 10 minutes before I turned off my alarm clock and got up.

It's nice to wake up without an alarm! It also gave me enough time to watch some of the Spanish TV series I am watching (the episodes are 1.5 hours long) which I haven't done since I moved my alarm time back to 5:00am.

Today when I came home from work I went straight to bed, and after 7 minutes I got up again. I knew pretty much straight away that I wouldn't sleep as my mind was very active and it was an effort to keep my eyes shut.

About 15 minutes after I got up I was sitting at my computer and suddenly I felt sleepy. I wasn't sure if I would actually fall asleep, but as soon as I laid down I drifted off in seconds!

I woke up about an hour later and logged the end of my sleep, and then I laid in bed for another 15 minutes waiting for Yu Lee to come home, but at about 6:10 she still wasn't back so I just got up.

This time I decided pretty quickly that I wasn't going to sleep...

Last night I was pretty tired by bed time, partly due to the fact that I had a cold and it was making me feel drowsy.

When I went to bed I fell asleep very quickly, and I slept through solidly until my alarm went off at 5:00am. I actually had a really good sleep and I feel very well rested! Also my cold symptoms are a lot better this morning so hopefully I am past the worst of it already.

This was not the most satisfying sleep in the world, but I am pretty sure I slept.

Today I went for a beer at lunch time with one of my Spanish friends, so when I got home from work I was feeling sleepy and feeling the after effects of the alcohol. I laid down to sleep, and I remember about 10 minutes later looking at the clock and thinking it hadn't been long enough to justify marking a red section on the chart so I put my sleep mask on and went back to sleep.

The next thing I remember is that it felt like I had been laying there for about another 10 minutes, so I opened my eyes and looked at the clock again, but this time I had been laying in bed for over an hour! I must have been asleep for most of this!

After I marked the end of my sleep I actually laid in bed for another half an hour but this time I was awake. I had a pretty horrible cold (again) so it felt good to get some rest.

Last night I was playing Guild Wars 2 with Yu Lee, and her little brother and some other people we know were online so we were all doing stuff together. It was really good fun, and when I logged off at 11:00pm I was still feeling quite excited! We went to bed straight afterwards but we ended up talking in bed for a while to wind down.

Once we finally settled down to sleep I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and slept through solidly until my alarm.

Today's nap was a success! I didn't feel particularly tired but I laid down in my bed with some ear plugs in and my sleep mask on and drifted off in about a minute! I woke up more than an hour later and felt like I had a pretty decent nap.

After I logged the end of my sleep I actually laid in bed for 20 minutes because I'm lazy and I couldn't be bothered to get up.

Last night it took me about 25 minutes to fall asleep, which probably means I went to bed a bit early. Once again this was because I wanted to go to bed at the same time as Yu Lee.

I slept solidly through the night and woke up from a dream, although I don't remember anything about the dream now.

I know for sure that I didn't sleep for the first 32 minutes as I reset the timer after that time, but I did feel nice and relaxed. After that it is difficult to be 100% sure what happened!

I don't remember falling asleep. I don't remember waking up. When I opened my eyes and checked the time I felt more alert, but not 100% refreshed, and it felt like less time after I reset the timer than before, so I guess I must have slept!

These kinds of naps are no where near as good as the kind I used to have though and I don't understand what has changed. I felt really sleepy all afternoon at work...
