I remember very clearly waking up at 4:30am and looking at the clock, and deciding to go back to bed. This would be the 4.5 hours point which is when I normally get up if I go to bed at 1:00am.

I woke up from the alarm at 5:30, and dozed for a while. I originally ended the sleep at about 5:45, but I actually fell back to sleep again and changed it when I finally woke up.

When I returned to my bed I fell straight asleep! I woke up at about 6:45, and literally 1 minute after I woke up Yu Lee came in to wake me.

I felt refreshed afterwards, but I must admit it took me 10 minutes to actually drag myself out of bed.

I laid down to sleep but it didn't feel right. Maybe it's because this was the first day without Yu Lee for a while.

I actually felt quite tired, but not sleepy, so I decided to get up for a few minutes.

After waking up so quickly from my nap yesterday, I thought I had caught up on my sleep and that it would be easier to get up today, but once again I went straight back to sleep after the alarm and woke up at 6:05.

Now I still feel quite tired. When I woke up I also felt like I'd had too much sleep. Hopefully I can ge back into getting up wen the alarm goes off, as I love having the extra time in the mornings.

I must admit, after all of the sleep I had last night and the previous nap, I really didn't expect to sleep much for this one!

It definitely took me a little longer to fall asleep this time, as I didn't really feel tired, but I think I was still asleep within 15 minutes which isn't bad.

When I first woke up I looked at the clock on Yu Lee's side table, and it was partially obscured and for some reason I thought it said 16:45. I was a bit disappointed as this would have meant that I had slept for about 10 minutes which is never good. For some reason I looked a second time, and realised that it was actually saying 5:45 which was a lot better.

I feel really good after that nap - very well rested. Hopefully tonight I will not need to sleep for so long.

As I slept for 2.5 hours for my nap yesterday, I was thinking that it would be easy to get up this morning. I woke up at 5:30 as usual, but immediately fell back to sleep and woke up an hour later. This was my longest sleep in over a month.

I seriously don't understand why I am so tired at the moment! I was easily managing on 6 hours a night before, and 7 felt like a luxury, but this week I have needed more sleep and I have slept 9 hours in the past 24.

I fell asleep very easily today, in less than 10 minutes, and I didn't set an alarm. I woke up and fell back asleep a couple of times, and finally got up at 7:00pm.

I still feel a little tired - I have been needing more sleep recently for some reason...

Last night I felt quite sleepy, and Yu Lee was very tired so I went to bed before 12:30. I think in general this is a better bed time for me - it seems like I need 5 hours sleep at night instead of 4.5 hours.

This morning I woke from a (weird) dream 5 minutes before the alarm. I sat up in bed until the alarm went off and then got up. Yu Lee was still in bed at 8:00am when I left for work!

Today I felt wide awake all day, and even when it came to nap time I wasn't feeling particularly sleepy. When I laid down in my bed I realised that I would probably be able to sleep though, and sure enough, after about 10 minutes I drifted off to sleep.

I think I probably slept for about 1:30, and I felt pretty good afterwards. Time for more plumbing!

I was pretty tired last night, and I fell asleep very quickly after going to bed.

This morning I woke up at 5:30, turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. In the end I woke up after 6:00 hours of sleep. I really need to get back into the habit of getting up when the alarm goes off: I don't mind dozing for half an hour but falling back to sleep for 1.5 hours is too much. Maybe I'm extra tired from working on my bathroom?

I felt quite tired today, especially this morning which is unusual.

Towards the end of work I actually felt a lot more awake, and when I got in I didn't really feel tired. I got Yu Lee and we went to bed, and the moment my head hit the pillow a wave of tiredness washed over me. I think I must have fallen asleep within 10 minutes, and I woke up naturally after 2 hours feeling refreshed.

I was quite tired last night and I fell asleep straight away. I slept in until 6:15 this morning.

This morning when I slept in until 7:00 I wasn't sure if I would be able to sleep for my nap. It turns out that I had nothing to worry about!

I spent most of today fitting my bathroom, and I was absolutely shattered by nap time. I fell asleep very quickly and woke up naturally after 1:50. I feel so much better now!

Last night I was knackered by bed time after spending a lot of the day refitting my bathroom. I fell asleep straight away, and when I woke up this morning I decided to give myself a lay in, and set the alarm for 7:00.

I woke up twice between my vibrating alarm at 5:30 and the other alarm at 7:00. When I finally did get up I had a mild headache and felt like I had been asleep for a very long time. I think it's pretty cool that I can sleep in until 7:00 and it feels like I have slept in until noon!

After a little while awake, I felt sleepy again, so I made my second attempt at sleep. I managed to find a good compromise and had my legs out of the covers but with Yu Lee right up behind me - she was making me hot but the cool air was keeping me cool.

I went to sleep in about 5 - 10 minutes this time, and slept through until 5:35 when I woke up naturally, and felt a lot better.

Overall, I spent a lot longer in bed this afternoon than I intended but it was nice to relax after a tiring morning. Now it's time for dinner, followed by some more diy!

Trust good old Yu Lee to spoil a good nap!

We were ripping out the old bath from our bathroom today, and it was tiring work. Since about 12:00 noon I felt completely knackered, so I decided it was nap time and Yu Lee came with me. It was a little brighter than usual as it was earlier, so I put on my eye mask and settled down to sleep.

Every time I nodded off, Yu Lee would fidget and wake me up! She said she was cold, but I was too hot, so the following cycle repeated: Yu Lee got cold and snuggled up to me, which woke me up and then I fell back to sleep after a few minutes. Then I got too hot which woke me up so I pushed her away from me, and then went back to sleep.

After an hour of this I stopped feeling sleepy so we turned on the lights...

Last night I heard 'the noise' again for the first time in a long time. It was a very low frequency (bassy) humming noise that sounds kind of like a very large diesel engine is just idling outside somewhere.

I think I fell asleep after about 15 minutes, so it didn't affect me too much.

At 4:40am this morning I woke up from a dream. I went back to sleep and woke up at 5:30 with my alarm, but I turned it off and dozed until 6:00.

This morning I felt a little bit tired, but afterwards I was fine all day, until about 2:00pm when I had a really boring meeting at work. About half way through the meeting I started yawning a lot and felt like it was nap time already, although I woke up a bit towards the end.

I got home just before 4:00pm and ate a banana as I was starving, then I went to bed. I think it took me about 15 - 20 minutes to fall asleep, and I woke up at 5:59. 1 minute later my alarm went off and I got up and made dinner.

Last night I was pretty tired, probably because I only had a 1 hour nap, and also because I had a large glass of red wine.

I fell asleep in about 15 minutes and slept through until the alarm at 5:30. After I woke up, I laid there for a couple of minutes and then fell asleep until 5:50.

I also changed the duvet for a thinner one last night as I kept waking up really hot.

Yu Lee was home today, so we spent a bit of time together before our nap and then napped together.

I fell asleep easily but woke up naturally after 1:05.
