Two hours of sleep data are MISSSING. In the two thirds that WERE recorded, unusually the restless spikes are all in the first third.

Sunday Meditation 25/2/2018

TOTAL SESSION TIME: 14:55 - 16:48 TOTAL SESSION LENGTH: 1hr 53 mins TIME IN TRANCE/SLEEP: 1hr 43 mins EFFICIENCY: 91% TOTAL BRAIN-REST FOR TODAY: 7 hrs 56 mins (estimated) After not registering my night's sleep, meditation was dutifully recorded after wearing my tracker IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!! This session was of high quality and deep, drifting into sleep, particularly REM sleep, with some vivid dreams. A good end at least to the week.

At last! A night where Fitbit, body and brain all behaved themselves! I cannot fully explain why. I fully charged the Fitbit before bed, and I got some exercise in, and was fully relieved in the marital department - these factors may have all assisted. Most amazing of all there were NO toilet calls or tea cravings. I did wake as I often do around 04:30 thirsty/horny/needing a wee, but for once sleepiness was stronger and I never got out of bed or did anything else - I simply went back to sleep having NOT GOT UP AT ALL the whole night.  The only mild downers was that deep sleep was rather short and late and sleep efficiency remains stubbornly stuck in the 80's, but by my standards this is nevertheless a great morale-boosting success to begin the weekend with. I wish I could say I'd stumbled across the "winning formula" but I can't - I've exercised and charged Fitbit before on cold nights and had bad results, so why this one went well can't be explained ...

TOTAL SESSION TIME: 14:30 - 15:45 TOTAL SESSION LENGTH: 75 MINUTES TIME IN TRANCE/SLEEP: 63 MINUTES EFFICIENCY: 84% TOTAL BRAIN-REST FOR TODAY: Whatever the reason for the failure of Fitbit to record meditations last week, it was fine and accurate today.  I have started experimenting with binaural beats to find the one that works for me. There is no scientific evidence as many claim that binaural beats directly affect brainwave frequency, but I do believe that they have a hypnotic effect dependent on the individual.  Today I tried a variable beat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HePF0xlKzNE) but my experience was nothing like the level of consciousness suggested - trance was even as far as I could recollect and I woke spontaneously when I was still being allegedly stimulated to still be in light sleep. I rated it nevertheless "OK" but I have many more variations to try.
