I wake up at 00:45am so go to the toilet. Afterwards I feel restless for the rest of the night, and end up waking up a few times. I wake up for the last time at 6:10am and feel OK – not too tired.

Day 3

I get in from my running club at 7:30pm and make dinner – leftover bean chilli and rice. I also have a large glass of water which worries me, as it’s quite late for me to be drinking in the evening. I end up eating in front of the TV at around 8:15pm, and have a few pieces of dark chocolate to follow.

I watch a BBC iPlayer series until 10:15 before reading my book for half an hour. At 10:45 I head to the toilet and turn off the light – I’m asleep by 11pm again.

I wake up before midnight feeling restless, so I head to the toilet and then to the spare bedroom so as not to disturb my husband. I sleep on and off, waking several times. I finally wake up at 5:30am and read the news on my phone until my alarm goes off. I’m feeling pretty tired and grumpy!
