Sleep Log
Track your sleep patterns, quality, and duration to improve your rest and overall wellness.
How the Sleep Log Works
The Sleep Log is a personal wellness tool designed to help you track and understand your sleep patterns. By consistently logging your bedtime, wake time, and sleep quality, you can gain valuable insights into your habits and make informed decisions to improve your rest. All your sleep data is stored privately in your browser.
Here’s how to use the Sleep Log:
- Log Your Sleep: Click the "Log Sleep" button to add a new entry. Enter the date, the time you went to bed, and the time you woke up.
- Rate Your Sleep Quality: On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, rate how well you slept. This subjective measure is crucial for correlating sleep duration with sleep quality.
- Add Notes: Use the notes section to jot down anything relevant that might have affected your sleep, such as "drank coffee late," "felt stressed," or "read before bed."
- Review Your Dashboard: The stats at the top provide an instant summary of your average sleep duration, quality, and consistency.
- Analyze Your History: The main log shows your past entries, allowing you to easily identify patterns, good weeks, and bad weeks.
Tips for Better Sleep
1. Aim for Consistency
The most important factor for good sleep is a consistent schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day, even on weekends. The "Consistency Score" in your dashboard will help you track how well you're doing.
2. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine
In the hour before bed, avoid screens (phones, TVs, computers) as the blue light can disrupt sleep. Instead, do something relaxing like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or listening to calm music.
3. Optimize Your Sleep Environment
Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains, a white noise machine, or an eye mask if needed.
4. Connect the Dots with Notes
Use the notes feature to find correlations. After a few weeks, you might notice that every time you have a high-quality sleep, your note says "exercised in the afternoon" or "no screens before bed." This data is key to building better habits.
