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.

Well the good news is I achieved the critical minimum over the week, and actually did a little better than this as my tracker didn't record my Sunday meditation.
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.
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!
