Doctor asks people who struggle with sleep to try 'pen and paper' method Using pen and paper to track your sleep is "the number one tool for better sleep," according to an expert.
If you are experiencing persistent sleep issues, a sleep journal can provide valuable information for your doctor to help diagnose potential sleep disorders or develop a treatment plan.
As Sleep Doctor's website explains, a sleep diary allows you to record and analyse your sleep patterns over time.
By recording details like bedtime, wake-up time, sleep quality, daytime activities, and even mood, you can start to see recurring patterns that might be impacting your sleep.
"Keeping a basic sleep journal or sleep diary can tell you a ton about how you're sleeping and what changes you need to make."
