1:30am - finished one cup of Calea tea and went to bed
2:30am - still wide awake, take ~2mg melatonin
3:30am - still awake, lying still and trying to sleep
4:30am - still awake, lying still and trying to sleep
4:45am - move to couch, hoping to sleep more easily there
5:30am - still awake, get up and read, make a cup of catnip tea hoping for sedative effect
5:45am - sun is rising, drinking catnip tea, wondering if it will be possible to sleep yet
6:15am - go back to bed, cat takes an interest in my catnip breath, kneads my pillow, cute but whiskers tickle
6:20am - cat lies on top of me as I lay on my left side, comfortable and obliging me to be still
6:30am - around here I go to sleep at last
7:15am - wake up and recall two dreams, clarity good, content and recall average
7:16am - focus on remembering the dreams for later, need sleep too much to write them now
7:17am - carefully extricate myself from cat and blankets and visit bathroom
7:18am - discover cat is now somehow hogging entire pile of sheets, blankets and pillows
7:19am - grab another comforter for myself and try to go back to sleep
11:15am - wake terminally and write down the previous two dreams in bedside journal
11:20am - as I'm writing, suddenly recall two more dreams I had during second sleep period
Conclusion: Results negligible apart from the sleeplessness, since I normally remember multiple dreams when keeping an active journal.
