sleep is difficult to count
Last night, I went to bed at 23:30 and again I woke up at 5:00 but stayed in bed and slept more. I think I got out of bed after 9:00 but I was awake for a long time and just thinking. It's hard to quantify exactly how much sleep I got. It took me a little while to fall asleep in the first place. Probably, no more than 8 hours of sleep in total.

early to bed
I went to bed last night at 22:00 and it probably took 30 minutes to fall asleep.
Then I realized I was awake at 5:08. But I stayed in bed for another 3 hours, probably sleeping and waking and sleeping.

it's working
Yesterday, I finished work in the morning, came home, and then went to the supermarket. Then I ate lunch and took a long nap from about 13:00 to 18:15.
Then I went to bed and slept from about 22:30 to 5:50. Almost 7.5 hours. But wait! It doesn't end there! I didn't get up right away so I had a few more dreams. But anyway, I'm up now.
This seems to be working much better than my previous attempted methods. Before, after I finished my 2 days followed by 2 nights of work, I would try to stay up all day or maybe just have a short nap of about 3 hours. For some reason, with the short nap, I was not ready to go to sleep at night and would stay up late and then sleep in late the next day. Or by not taking the nap, I would fall asleep early, like at 20:00, but then only sleep 8 hours at the most, get up for a while, then get sleepy again and sleep another 6 to 8 hours during the day. It was because that first sleep was not long enough to make up for my sleep deprivation and then the second sleep would come during the wrong time. After the 2nd sleep, I was fully recovered but then awake at night again.
I have one more 2d-2n shifts to work this month. Next month, I will have to work 2 days and then have 2 off, and then work 2 nights. So it's going to be a totally different thing.

5 hours sleep and a dream
I was up past midnight last night. I'm going to guess that it was between 0:30 and 1:00 when I went to bed. I just got up. I woke up before in the night but went back to sleep. I last woke up at 5:53. So I could count this as 5 hours of sleep at least. Combined with the sleep I got during the day yesterday, I should be fine all day and be able to go to sleep at night tonight.
The weird thing is, I was sitting here using my computer and then I started feeling a little bit weird, maybe woozy in the head. While I was noticing that, then suddenly my vision got all messed up. My eyes were not looking in the same place and then everything became quite blurry. So I decide to lie down and if possible, sleep. Luckily, I did fall asleep quickly.
I had another strange dream. I was playing indoor volleyball and then like, eating. And so had to clean up the table. And there were some really weird new rules. And then there was all this wooden furniture on the court and players were cleaning and scrubbing the tables and so the serve became delayed.

7.34 hours of day sleep
I finished work this morning and then slept from about 12:00 to 19:20. Instead of doing like last time where I took a three hour nap and then went back to bed at night but could only sleep a few hours, I am taking a different approach. I think that the sleeping of just a few hours can cause you to get used to that in a way that makes it hard to stay asleep. I don't want that to happen so I'm going to try to just sleep for long periods and hopefully, somehow rotate the schedule back to sleeping at night.

slept all day
I ended up sleeping all day today. From about 9:15 until 17:00.
I'll surely be awake all night. I have to work all day tomorrow! This is not good.

sleep
I went to bed at 21:15 and was able to sleep until 2:45. Then I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Right now, starting to not feel so good. Have had a bit of a headache since I got up. Got up at about 4:45 and then took a shower. Maybe I will eat some toast soon and take some bufferin.
