- Time in Bed: Note the time you got into bed (lights out).
- Sleep Onset: Record the approximate time you fell asleep.
- Wake After Sleep Onset: Estimate the total minutes you were awake in the middle of the night.
- Final Awakening: Write down the time of your last awakening.
- Out of Bed: Record the time you finally got out of bed to start the day.
- TIB (h): Calculate
#5 – #1
to obtain Time in Bed. - TST (h): Calculate
#4 – #2 – #3
to obtain Total Sleep Time. - Sleep Efficiency (SE %): Compute
TST ÷ TIB × 100
. - Sleep Quality: Rate your overall sleep (Very poor, Poor, Fair, Good, Very good).
- Naps: Log the total minutes you napped or dozed during the previous day.
- Comments: Add any relevant notes (e.g. caffeine intake, illness, travel).
Weekly Summary (Row 8): After seven nights, calculate the average TIB and SE %.
• If SE % ≥ 85 %, increase next week's TIB by 15 minutes.
• If SE % < 80 %, decrease next week's TIB by 15 minutes.
