Today I slept a lot! If you click on my sleep log link above, you will see that I have slept for a total of 9 hours and 47 minutes today, which is a huge amount!

Last night was the first night that I had slept in my bed for quite a few days (actually it seemed like an eternity), and I was very happy to be sleeping somewhere comfortable. I went to bed at 1:00am, hoping to get up at 5:30am and continue with my normal pattern. Things didn't quite work out like that in the end!

My vibrating alarm went off at 5:30am as usual, and I didn't really feel particularly motivated to get up. I laid there for a few minutes, and the next thing I knew it was 6:00, so I must have drifted off to sleep. I told Yu Lee that I fancied a bit more sleep and she said that I should sleep longer if I want, so I set my ipod to go off at 7:00. The alarm went off and I snoozed it until 7:30, then I turned it off and went back to sleep again. I eventually woke up at 8:45 and got up.

I had loads of vivid dreams during this period, but I can't remember any of them now.

Due to sleeping so much during the night, I really wasn't counting on having a nap in the afternoon, but just after midday we went out shopping and while I was out I felt the need for a nap slowly coming over me.

We got back around 2 and had lunch, and then played computer games for a while, and then at 4:30pm I decided I was definitely ready for a nap and went to bed. I set my alarm for 2 hours, but woke up 5 minutes before it went off.

This evening I have felt great! I think I really needed to sleep in today, as my quality of sleep was awful while I was looking after ratty.

We were really intending to properly clean up today, and to get rid of all of the ratty related stuff in the front room, but after my horrible 3 days I felt that I really needed a break. It was great to do nothing much all day!
