Your Sleep Baseline
Observe timing, quality, opportunity, symptoms, and daytime function for one week.
What to know
Time in bed and time asleep are not identical.
Regularity, awakenings, breathing, substances, medications, and environment can matter.
A tracker should support care, not create sleep anxiety.
This week’s practice
Turn the lesson into one useful experiment.
- 1
Record bedtime, wake time, awakenings, and daytime sleepiness.
- 2
Note caffeine, alcohol, naps, and medication timing.
- 3
Look for patterns after seven days rather than judging one night.
Questions to take into care
“Could a medication or condition disrupt sleep?”
“Do my symptoms suggest a sleep-disorder evaluation?”
Why this chapter matters
Sleep and Circadian Health
Sleep affects attention, mood, appetite, recovery, and cardiometabolic health. Persistent insomnia, loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, or severe daytime sleepiness should not be reduced to willpower.
