1700 I was greeted by Saj, Praveena and Praveenas colleague Ian in the courtyard. 
Went inside, said hi to Sachin sitting at the dinner table enjoying his dinner. Discussed Sachins sleep with Saj as Sachins Fitbit appears to be recording different data to what Praveena and Saj believe to be true. 1720 Sachin finished his dinner and tea, Sachin toileted with Saj (med - large output). 
1730 Sachin and I took our teas to programs room and got started on puzzle. 1738 heart rate got a little high (80bpm). Applied lavender oil to nostrils. 1740 I began to play guitar which Sachin obviously enjoyed. This was reflected in both Sachins heart rate and general demeanour, including his vocal cue “tictar” and smiling. 
1800 Sachin had medication, provided by Praveena in med cup. 
1810 Sachin heart rate 90bpm. Lavender sprayed across Sachins chest. 
1815 Sachin had trouble focussing and eyes rolling back. Regained focus with hand in front of face and checked in with Saj. 
Lots of interaction on the puzzle tonight and made good progress on the pieces. 
1900 Heart rate sitting at 80-88. More lavender applied to nostril. 
1930 Finished in program room, Sachin toileted with Saj. Medium output. 
Settled on couch with Praveena for remainder of shift watching swimming, comfortable steady heart rate at 60bpm.
