If you have in mind a question:

Is there anything I can do to help improve my sleep?

One of the most important strategies for overcoming sleep problems is changing your sleep habits and making the sleep environment conducive to uninterrupted sleep. Your healthcare provider will want to know if there is any daytime or bedtime behavior that may be contributing to your poor night's sleep. Keeping a sleep diary can help determine the best strategy for your problem.

What you can do to prepare for this discussion

 Write down all daytime and nighttime behaviors and
experiences in a detailed sleep diary
 Make note of any alcohol, tobacco, food and stimulant
usage, and when you exercise and eat
 Take note of your sleep environment and your bedtime
activities
 Document the timing and length of all naps
 Note what practices have worked for you in the past
