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.

An unusually-patterned sleep that nevertheless demonstrates clearly how I need 8 hours sleep opportunity to get my critical minimum 6 hours sleep. The "wee at three" is a common regular feature of my sleeps.
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.
