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 the hiccups of yesterday, overnight the tracker recorded successfully, and my sleep pattern was also back to normal. Although I only just achieved the critical minimum, it was a healthy well-balanced sleep.
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.
The limitations of the Fitbit are revealed in this sleep at both ends. I didn't actually turn lights out until 22:05 - I was in bed watching the footie and "winding down" from 21:15. At the other end, though I did wake at 04:59 I slept fitfully until 07:15, including dreams. The Fitbit did not pick this up! The good news however is that I was therefore comfortably rather than just about over the critical minimum, enabling the ongoing repair of my virus-ravaged lung-lining.
