Well.
Your boyfriend probably is right.
If you are going to take notes over what times you are awake or asleep, you will never be able to sleep at all. Try this:
Remove the clock or put it out of sight and try to tell yourself that itīs not late or early in the morning. Also keep the tv off. The point of this exercise is NO knowledge of time for your brain.

This way your brain wont be able to trick you into thinking that you did not sleep since it wont be able to fill in the blanks with presumed time.
