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.

This sleep follows a day when I was somewhat depressed. The subsequent sleep appears unaffected in length, but there is a significant imbalance between deep sleep (high) and dream sleep (low).
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.
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.
