Sleep Log 01

So, I've decided to keep track of my sleep better, because I need to get a sleep study done and the information may prove useful.

The past couple days I have forced myself out of bed "early". I would say altogether I got 8 hours of sleep between the two of them, falling asleep around 8AM and waking up around 12:30.

As you can imagine, last night I was very tired. I went to bed around midnight, and after just watching some YouTube videos, I fell asleep around 1:30-1:45AM.

I have just awoken at 3:45-3:50AM. I was in the middle of a dream; something involving indoor soccer, and despite our group's best efforts we ended up having really mismatched teams. Somehow I went from being on the dominant team to being on the losing one.

This has happened before whenever I try to go to bed at a "decent" time in comparison to when I normally can fall asleep. It's difficult to replicate because I usually need to be very underslept after two ish days.

It's almost as if my body was only prepared for a nap or something and awoke me because I went way over the time allowed.

At this moment I am quite awake. I had to go to the bathroom because it felt like my bladders were going to explode.

Interestingly, I remember my father having this issue of not being able to get more than 4 or 5 consecutive hours of sleep, constantly waking in the middle of the night, going to the bathroom to take a much needed leak, and then not being able to go back to sleep. But it's possible that his issue was different from mine, given the significant difference in age between us.

My acid reflux is killing me so maybe that had something to do with it too, hard to say.

Well, speaking of back to sleep, I can try.
