sleep diary
Use this sleep diary to make an accurate assessment of how much you sleep and
other factors associated with your sleep. This will help you to identify patterns and
areas for improving sleep hygiene. Also, many people who struggle with sleep
difficulties make negative assumptions about their sleep (e.g. “I never sleep more than
5 hours a night”) and this worksheet can help you to check if this is really the case.
