This morning was very similar to yesterday: We got up at 5:30am and had breakfast, and then played Guild Wars 2 for an hour before starting to get ready for work. The main difference was that this morning I felt a lot less groggy and a lot more awake.

I felt good all day today. My alertness did dip around 4:00pm when I got in from work, but by the time my girlfriend was back I was feeling awake again. We laid down in the bedroom and talked for half an hour or so, but in the end realised that we wouldn't have been able to sleep and gave up on the idea of napping before we even started.

We had roast pork for dinner, and ate at around 7:30pm, and as soon as we had eaten we both came over tired. I went to bed straight away and she came about 20 minutes later, but we both got up at the same time. When the alarm went off to wake us I immediately felt refreshed, and didn't have much grogginess at all. She felt really sleepy though, which I think is due to her waking up from deep sleep half way through her sleep cycle.

We got up from our nap at about 10:00pm, so it will be interesting to see if we can sleep at bed time tonight.

I think I have realised that it is not going to be practical to have a set nap time each day: I really need to just sleep when I feel tired. It seems to me at the moment that the absolute worst time to have a nap is between 6:00pm and 8:00pm, which is unfortunately the earliest time that we can sleep together. I may have to start napping as soon as I get in from work on my own instead.
