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.
Another interesting one. This one had no "restless middle" - I have no recollection of the awake spikes. Having woken early, it was not early enough to go back to sleep, so this sleep fell short of the critical minimum.
This was an unexpectedly long dense sleep with most of the restlessness compressed into one hour. However REM and Deep Sleep were unusually low. There was the usual cycling between stages, but never staying long outside Light Sleep.
This is an interesting one! At around 03:00 I was absolutely wide awake and kept awake by wife's snores/breath and the cat, so I moved to the Consulting Room. I then proceeded to have an epic dream session over 90 minutes long and unbroken! All this added up to a good sleep! Next time I'm wide awake at 3am, I'll know what to do!
