A sleep diary or log is a good starting point to see exactly what the extent of the problem is.
An example might look like this:
| Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday |
| Total nap time yesterday |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Sleep medication |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Time started trying to sleep |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How long before feel asleep |

|
|
|
|
|
|
| How many times woke up |
|
|

It may also be helpful to assess your daily activity levels in a separate log and compare them to see if there is a correlation. In fact, any variable can be looked at in this way to see if there is a pattern emerging. So pain level, other symptoms, caffeine consumption, diet, menstrual cycle, medication changes (especially timing) can all be assessed to see their impact upon the sleep pattern.
For people with chronic pain, it is advisable to keep a pain log for the same period as the sleep log; it might look something like this:
