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.

After yesterday's dodgy results, this reflects a genuine low-quality sleep due to a late-night chat and beer with my son. A pint probably did not help the sleep quality - it was a good evening though!
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.
I have had something of a "what comes naturally" attitude to sleep this weekend, particularly this sleep, where I went to bed feeling sleepy and stayed there until I wasn't. I probably won't adopt it as a long-term strategy, but it was interesting to observe that it did deliver a little over the critical minimum with adequate deep sleep. I suspect I had more REM sleep than the tracker recorded, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
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!
