Easter Monday - Tuesday 2-3/4/2018

April 03, 2018

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!

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.

Monday Meditation 12/3/2018

March 12, 2018

TOTAL SESSION TIME: 13:00 - 14:35 TOTAL SESSION LENGTH: 1hr 28 mins TIME IN TRANCE/SLEEP: 1hr 22 mins EFFICIENCY: 93% TOTAL BRAIN-REST FOR TODAY: In order not to be disturbed by rampant coughing, today's meditation was accompanied by a stiff dose of peppermint and eucalyptus oil aromatherapy. This proved very effective. I went very deep although I awoke having used only 75% of the available window. I then went downstairs - and coughed my lungs up. No hurrying recovery! With all three of us infected, the house is rattling to a cacophony of coughing.
