As a therapist I know how fundamental sleep is to wellbeing, and that modern life makes getting it harder. This blog is a record of my own efforts to get a good night's sleep.

With my slow recovery getting me down a bit, I was in "not give a shit" and "me time" mode, I went to bed at a record late time. Fortunately, I could afford to - Missus is suffering the same slow recovery, and the resulting libido crash means she doesn't require me in the morning, meaning I could just wake up naturally when I wanted. Nevertheless I still fell a little short of the critical minimum 6 hours. Interestingly, the restless second half, which normally kicks in around 03:00 was correspondingly delayed to around 05:00 as a result of my late bedtime.
I've noticed how unique every sleep pattern is, but this one is on the more typical side - a first half where most of the deep sleep happens, a restless hour in the middle, then a second half where most of the REM sleep happens. A satisfactory well-balanced sleep achieving the critical minimum.
After a run of unreliable results by the tracker, at last this one is believable. A busy weekend deprived of sleep and meditation that ran into Monday resulted in this very efficient sleep. Rather than sleep longer to pay off sleep debt, I slept more intensely, with much less wakefulness than usual.
