Sleep log

A sleep log is a record of an individual's sleeping and waking times, usually over a period of several weeks. It is used to diagnose circadian rhythm sleep disorders, and to monitor whether treatment of those disorders is successful.

A sleep log usually includes:


 * 1) The time the person tried to fall asleep
 * 2) The time the person thinks they fell asleep
 * 3) The number, time, and length of any nighttime awakenings
 * 4) The time the person woke up
 * 5) The time the person got out of bed
 * 6) The time the person had wanted to wake up
 * 7) Whether the person got up by themselves, by an alarm clock, or because of being disturbed
 * 8) A few words about how the person felt during the day
 * 9) The start and end times of any daytime naps
 * 10) What, if any, medications the person was using
