How the sleep workbook helps you find what works

Each morning for two weeks, jot down your night in the diary. The review page then shows which habits tend to come before your easier and your harder nights. Put together a short evening routine one step at a time, check it off across 14 nights, and walk through your bedroom with a six area audit: light, sound, temperature, bed, space and habits.

Before bed, empty your mind onto the worry download page rather than taking those thoughts to bed with you, and try one change at a time on the what helps log. Since the workbook only holds your own notes, every field for times and limits stays blank, ready for what your doctor has advised.

Who this sleep journal is for

• Adults who sense their nights could be more peaceful and want to look at daily sleep habits on paper
• Busy parents, students and people working from home whose evenings stretch late and run into bedtime
• Anyone asked by a doctor to keep a sleep diary who wants neat notes to bring along
• People whose thoughts race at night and who would like a place to write worries down before bed
• Anyone who enjoys a paper journal more than a sleep app

Design and sizes

• Elegant, simple pages: white with soft blush pink accents that use little ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer does not clip the edges
• Portrait pages in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so you can begin on any night and print the diary pages again as often as you want
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop
