If you suspect you suffer from a sleep disorder, are visiting a doctor about sleep issues or going for a sleep study, it is worthwhile keeping a sleep diary to help you determine any factors which may be contributing to the problem.

Record things such as caffine intake, diet, activity levels etc in addition to hours spent sleeping, number of awakenings etc.

Keep your sleep diary where you will remember to fill it in - it will only take a minute or two to fill in each day. It will be helpful for you to keep a sleep diary for at least 10 days before seeing your sleep specialist.
