Here is what to track in your "sleep journal."

• The time you went to bed
• The time you actually fell asleep, if known
• How many times you woke up during the night
• How long, each time, it took you to fall back asleep
• The time you woke up in the morning
• How many naps you took that day, and how long each lasted
• The medications you used
• How much caffeine or alcohol you drank

Reviewing this information on your own may reveal some unexpected sleep barriers. Reviewing your diary with a doctor will help you work together to improve your sleep habits and boost your overall health and resiliency.
