As impressive as this looks, it is unfortunately just PLAIN WRONG - I did NOT go to sleep from 17:56 - 05:13. My illness has clearly "confused" the Fitbit. For much of this time I was simply sat quietly being ill. I actually went to bed around 21:00 and my recollection is of being restless with an "epic" dream I would keep returning to between wakefulness. 

In terms of sleep research, this week is therefore going to be something of a write-off with no meaningful results. It is however worthy of note that I have been in the fortunate position of being able to simply rest on Wednesday, the illness peaking in intensity on Tuesday night. If you can, resting up is the best way to fight an infection.

However as the therapist I am also the one most able to self-analyze. As the infection got worse I took the decision to take time out and rest up. Whilst this seemed to me the best way of recovering faster, in reality the opposite has happened.  Though seeming counter-intuitive, I am beginning to wonder if the quickest recovery path is actually to "just get on with it" as the other two are. I may be intermittently be coughing my guts up and be unable to speak, but I can still MOVE and move stuff. Today I will stay in but I will start moving stuff around and see what effect this has on morale, recovery

This is the start of an extended time away so I was interested in how it would affect my sleep. This first night was a very stark one of two halves - sleeping very well in the first half and very broken in the second. This may have been influenced by two pints of Guinness!
