Sleep diary

Online services can also be used to track daily sleep patterns.

Sleep diaries are a key component of the assessment and treatment of Insomnia II.

Further, they can provide insight as to how well the patient is adhering to a prescribed sleep schedule.

The advantages of sleep diaries over other measurements is their simple and inexpensive nature.

The disadvantages of sleep diaries are that inaccurate or incomplete data is provided by the patient, scoring time used by the clinician and scoring errors on the clinician's side (only paper version).
