Narrative:
While performing an overnight maintenance check on a 737-300 aircraft, I found the crew oxygen required servicing. I properly svced the oxygen bottle with oxygen and leak checked the system. After completing the check about XA30, I made the required logbook entry for servicing crew oxygen. I mistakenly wrote 'svced crew O2 with nitrogen,' which in fact I had not! My only explanation is I had a head cold for the past 3 days and was feeling tired. At crew change that same day, the crew discovered the logbook entry and the crew oxygen bottle was changed.
