Better awareness of nightly sleep patterns can help people spot what may be affecting their rest, from naps and caffeine to tension in bed and night-time waking. A printable sleep diary like this is useful for anyone wanting a simple sleep log, insomnia worksheet or sleep hygiene tracker to bring to therapy, CBT-I work, GP appointments or personal reflection.
This Sleep Diary Worksheet is a printable sleep log designed to help record the daily habits, routines and experiences that may be linked with sleep quality. Fill it in each day to note naps, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, medication, pre-bed activities, fatigue, tension, in-bed activities and lights-out time. The bed and sleep pattern section then prompts for time taken to fall asleep, waking time, hours slept, night-time awakenings and a rest score.
The worksheet is suited to adults who want a clearer view of insomnia, broken sleep, irregular routines or worries about not sleeping enough. It can also be used by counsellors, psychologists, sleep clinics, wellbeing practitioners and support workers as a simple client handout between sessions.
Use the diary over several nights or weeks to build a more reliable picture than memory alone. It can support conversations about sleep hygiene, bedtime routines, evening screen use, stimulants, daytime tiredness and patterns of waking during the night.
