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.
This was a very "natural" sleep in that I went to bed when I felt tired and got out of bed when I felt awake. Coming on the back of a relaxed previous day and adequate brain-rest, I only needed just over the critical minimum 6 hours.
Though substandard, this sleep wasn't as disastrous as I imagined, getting within an hour of the critical minimum. Going to bed late was my fault, although the long restless period wasn't in my conscious control. It's a case of shrug shoulders and move on.
