Hours per night of sleep

My sleep is still improving. In the first half of 2009 I was averaging just under 5.5 hours sleep per night. 2010 is better. In January I averaged 6.1 hours/night, in February 5.7 hours/night, and in March 6.2 hours/night. My goal is to be sleeping an average of 7 hours/night, but with monthly averages of >6 hours/night I no longer feel "consumed" by insomnia.

Here's a "smoothed" version of the first graph, showing that there really has been an improvement! A number of factors have probably contributed to the improvement. In addition to splitting up with a partner and beginning a new relationship, I've finished demanding post-graduate study, lost 5kg and taken a 5-week holiday. I've also been eating a lot of dhal. I think eating dhal helps me sleep, feel better generally, and I also think it is behind the weight loss. I will post the recipe.
