Recently I have been setting the alarm for 7:00pm when I nap, and normally I seem to wake up naturally after 1.5 - 2 hours, but today I actually slept right through until 2 minutes before the alarm.

I got in from work and was tired, maybe because I went to the pub at lunch time for a beer and an enormous burger! I went to bed and fell straight to sleep, but about 5 minutes later Yu Lee came in which woke me up. I fell asleep again soon afterwards and slept for a total of 2.5 hours.

Even with all of this sleep I still feel quite sleepy tonight!

This morning I actually managed to get up at 5:30 - let's see if I can do it again tomorrow! I haven't stuck to the pattern for 2 consecutive days for ages now...

For the first time in ages, I actually struggled a bit for this nap. I wasn't really that tired, and it took me at least half an hour to fall asleep, but I'm pretty sure I got there in the end.

I didn't really feel like I'd been properly asleep afterwards, although I know I must have slept as it no way felt anything like laying there for 2 hours. I did feel nice and relaxed though, and I felt rested afterwards.

This morning, once again I struggled to get out of bed. I woke up straight away and at 5:35 I recorded the end of my sleep. Then I laid there for a few minutes and the next thing I knew I had dozed off and it was now 6:05.

I'm starting to get a bit frustrated that I am finding it hard to get up, and it almost feels like I am slipping back into my monophasic bad habit of snoozing the alarm. Hopefully this is something that I can stop doing, but my willpower is not always so strong at that time of the morning.

I had to interview someone at work today at 3:00, so I was worried it would overrun and I would be late home, but in the end the interview finished dead on 4:00 and I was home at the normal time for my nap.

I didn't feel like I would fall asleep quickly as my mind was still quite active, but I think I must have fallen asleep in about 10 minutes or so. I woke up when Yu Lee came home at about 5:45, and properly woke up 10 minutes later when she got in bed with me to nap too, so we both got up.

This was a bit of a short nap and I felt like I could have done with a bit more sleep.

Last night it took me quite a while to go to sleep. I went to bed at about 12:40 with Yu Lee, but we were talking for at least 15 minutes before we settled down to sleep. I'm pretty sure that I looked at the clock at one point and it said 1:30 which was 25 minutes after my recorded sleep time.

This morning I was tired so I turned off the alarm, and set a different alarm to go off at 5:55. For some reason I only snoozed my vibrating alarm though, so it went off again about 10 minutes later. Once again I tried to turn it off but snoozed it, and after the second time I decided to get up and have a shower.

The weird thing is I really couldn't figure out how to turn the bloody alarm clock off!

This was a lovely nap! I thought I wouldn't sleep so well for it as I didn't fall asleep very quickly last night, but I drifted off into a nice deep sleep and when the alarm went off I thought it was morning and didn't want to get up!

I had put a chicken in the oven on the timer before going to sleep, and I only had an hour left to cook the potatoes which motivated me to get up.

Last night I initially went to bed at 12:30 but it took me quite a while to fall asleep, probably due to the obscene amounts of sleep I'd had the previous night. When I woke up this morning I was a little tired, and I laid in bed in bed for about 10 minutes after logging the time for this sleep.

Considering the fact that I had a good 7 hours of sleep the previous night, I wasn't sure that I would feel tired for this nap.

We were out looking at bathroom stuff in homebase at about 3:00 and I suddenly felt like I could just lay down there and sleep. When I got home I sat at the computer for 20 minutes and then went to bed, and I drifted off to sleep straight away. I woke up naturally 2 hours later and to be honest I wasn't even sure if I'd been to sleep until I looked at the clock!

I felt better afterwards though, and tonight I will go to bed around 12:30am.

Last night I went out for a language exchange and I felt tired, but I still managed to do ok with my Spanish. I think I have been going to bed a little bit too late each day, as although I have been in bed by 1:00am most nights, I have not fallen asleep immediately. I also only slept for 1 hour for my nap yesterday which may have contributed to my tiredness.

This morning when I woke up I still felt really sleepy, so I simply switched the alarm off and went back to sleep. I woke up 2 hours later at 7:30, and felt like I had been asleep for ages! It felt like when I used to sleep in until noon on my old sleeping pattern: I was thirsty (and I hadn't had any alcohol the previous night), drowsy and I had a headache.

I felt really tired all afternoon, and when I finally went for my nap I fell asleep straight away.

Unfortunately I woke up after 1:15 which is not really enough for me. When I woke up my earplugs were annoying me so maybe that is what woke me up. I think I needed a little bit longer though because I still feel a bit sleepy...

Last night I went to bed a little later than usual at about 1:10, but I was really tired so I started to drift straight away. Just as I was dozing off I thought I heard a weird noise which kind of sounded like a knock at the door - this woke me up and then it took a little longer to fall back to sleep.

Getting up this morning was a little easier than the previous days, but I did feel a little bit tired afterwards. I also felt slightly hungover, which may be because I had a beer at 11:00 the night before (although I drank plenty of water afterwards).

I was feeling pretty sleepy from about 1:00pm today, and at 3:30 I decided to take my nap a bit earlier than usual.

As soon as I got in bed my neighbour started doing some diy - he was banging and using a drill. I put my earplugs in but could still hear the noise. It didn't stop me sleeping though and I think I fell asleep about 5 minutes later and had a pretty good nap.

I woke up naturally after about 1:45.

I was super lazy thing morning, and set an alarm for 30 minutes and slept some more. Even after the alarm I dozed for a little while.

I was pretty tired for this nap, and I fell asleep quickly. I set an alarm for 2.5 hours which is a bit longer than usual, and I woke up naturally after 2:15.

This was a good nap, but I really didn't feel like getting out of bed afterwards! I ended up laying in bed for a while before finally getting up and starting on the dinner...

Last night I went to bed a bit later than usual. It was the first night for quite a while where I really felt like I could have stayed up a lot longer just relaxing and browsing the web.

I went to bed at about 1:05am, but then Yu Lee (who had fallen asleep at 10:00pm) decided she needed to get up and clean her teeth so in the end I didn't fall asleep until nearly 1:30.

This morning I did not want to get up, and I had really bad sleep inertia so I set an alarm for 20 minutes and went back to bed.

We went to Charlie Chan's which is a chinese restaurant in town for lunch today, and I had a couple of beers and a lot of food. After the 50 minute walk home I was ready for bed but a bit dehydrated. I drank as much water as I could but my stomach was very full.

I passed out very quickly, and woke up 1:45 later without the alarm, with a splitting headache. I dozed for about 15 minutes before I got up (after I logged the end of the sleep).

Last night there was no noise at all again. It took me a while to fall asleep, and I'm sure I looked at the clock past 1:00am but it was not stressful or frustrating.

I have no issues with having to lay in bed for a while before falling asleep - as long as it is not too long and I don't have to put up with any annoying noises!

I was quite tired for my nap today and fell asleep quickly. I think I originally woke up at about 6:00pm but I dozed for about 15 minutes before getting up.

Last night I could occasionally hear my neighbours talking next door, but it was very quiet and didn't bother me. The low pitched noise didn't make a return either. I think it took me about 15 minutes to fall asleep.

This morning I woke up very tired so I allowed myself to sleep for an extra 20 minutes.
