Good morning,
Following on from yesterday’s blog post on sleep today’s focus will be sleep behaviours.
When reviewing our sleep patterns and ability to have a good night’s sleep there are specific questions we can follow to help us build up a picture of what our sleep behaviours are. There may be things we can amend or change that will help to support good sleep routines and patterns. Some of the questions we can ask ourselves over a two week period are:
- In the past two weeks how often have you felt tired or sleepy during the day?
- In the past two weeks how often have you stayed awake until after midnight?
- In the past two weeks how often have you gone to bed because you could nit stay awake any longer?
- In the past two weeks how often have you watched TV or played a console, used a phone or tablet in bed?
- In the past two weeks how often have you felt tired or sleepy during the day?
- In the past two weeks how often have you found it hard to fall asleep?
- In the past two weeks how often have you felt tired or sleepy during the day?
- In the past two weeks how often have you woke up during the night and found it hard to get back to sleep?
Try and build a picture of your sleep routines using the questions above over a 2 week period. If you can find things that are regularly coming up try and change some of the routines and see if that makes a difference to how you get over to sleep and how good a sleep you have.
Have a great day.
