sleep diaries

A sleep diary is a personal record used to track your sleep patterns over time. It typically includes details like when you go to bed, how long it takes to fall asleep, number and duration of awakenings during the night, wake-up time, and how you feel during the day. Keeping a sleep diary helps identify habits or issues affecting sleep quality and can guide healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating sleep problems. It's a simple, practical tool for understanding your sleep behavior and making informed adjustments for better rest.
