Once you have completed your sleep habits diary it is time to see if your daily routine is causing your sleeping difficulty.
Again a diary will help you identify any thing that make be contributing to sleep problems and any sleep anxiety.
This diary should include:
- Food
- Exercise
- TV and computer time.
- Work
- Play
I like to keep an hour by hour diary. I just jot down what I did in the last hour. If I wait longer than an hour I have a tendency to forget parts of my routine.
Keep this diary for at least one week or longer if you feel it would give you a better view of your habits.The whole idea is to get a good look at what is happening in your life that may an underlying source of your sleep difficulty.
