Sleep Diary

How to Use the National Sleep Foundation Sleep Diary Our sleep diary only takes a few minutes each day to complete. We’ve given you diary entries for seven days; you may want to make several copies. Review your completed diary to see if any patterns or practices are helping or hindering your sleep. Is your bedroom a sleep sanctuary? Or are there too many distractions? Did your nap interfere with a good night’s sleep? Make incremental changes. Changing one habit at a time can set you on the path to healthy sleep.
