Why keep a sleep log?

It shows your real sleep pattern — late caffeine, long naps, irregular bedtimes — and is the first thing a doctor asks for with sleep problems.

How long should I keep it?

Two weeks give a good picture; the sheet has fourteen rows.

Can I log a whole month?

Yes. Set the first column to “The days of one month” and pick any day in that month: every day gets its own row, 31 for December. On portrait US Letter a 31-day month and the Notes box fit one sheet; in landscape the table runs onto a second page with the headings repeated.

Can I log daytime sleep after a night shift?

Yes. The times are yours to write, so in bed at 8:30 am and up at 2:45 pm is a row like any other. Use the Notes box to mark which days followed a night shift.

Can I use it for a child?

Yes — change the columns to bedtime, wake-ups and naps.

Can I change the columns?

Yes — each line of the columns box is a column.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The pages are made in your browser.

Example

Example: a two-week sleep diary for a night-shift nurse, the dates already printed

Jordan works three twelve-hour night shifts a week, and the doctor wants two weeks of sleep on paper, daytime sleep included. Jordan keeps the page’s columns, sets “Fill the first column with” to “Dates, one per row” and “Starting on” to Monday, November 2, 2026. Paper stays US Letter, landscape.

The 14 rows label themselves Mon, 11/2 to Sun, 11/15: two full weeks, Monday to Sunday.
After each sleep, one row: when Jordan got into bed, roughly when sleep came, how many times Jordan woke and when Jordan got up.
Later in the day: naps, caffeine and a score from 1 to 5 for how rested Jordan felt.
Time in bed comes straight from the row: 8:30 am to 2:45 pm after a night shift is 6 h 15 min, 45 minutes of it before falling asleep; 10:30 pm to 6:45 am on a day off is 8 h 15 min.

sleep-log.pdf: one landscape Letter sheet with 14 dated rows and the Notes box, where Jordan marks which days followed a night shift. The sheet adds nothing up and judges nothing; it is the record you talk through with your doctor.

How it works

Print the log and keep it by your bed.
Each morning, fill in when you went to bed, fell asleep, woke and got up.
Add naps, caffeine and how rested you feel; look for patterns after two weeks.
