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).
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.
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.
