How to Track Your Sleep Habits
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
I’ve pulled all-nighters, that’s for sure. If I stay up too long though, everyone starts looking funny. I try to sleep at least eight hours a night. If you’re not getting enough sleep, then shame on you! Your body and mind need rest in order to function properly, and stay healthy! How many hours do you sleep on average? Do you even know of a good way to keep track?
YawnLog is a free website that will help you keep a log of your sleeping habits. YawnLog is a sleep tracker. Sign up, and then tell the site each day when you went to sleep and when you woke up. Add some notes about your sleeptime, as well, if you want. Did you sleep peacefully? Were you tossing and turning? Did you have strange dreams?
You can share these notes with others if you wish, and even compare your sleeping habits with others. YawnLog keeps track of everything for you, and you can use the information how you wish. If you don’t want to share your information, don’t worry – you can keep it totally private. YawnLog will never share your information with the World, unless you want them to.
YawnLog’s slogan is pretty snappy, and says a lot about what’s behind the idea for the site:
YawnLog is about you and your naptime, and we’re happy to tuck you in.
It was born from a “Hackathon” several months ago, when a large group of people stayed up all night brainstorming and hacking together ideas. Everyone knows that it’s important to rest enough, but not everyone does so. YawnLog can help you get your sleep habits back on track.

An online sleep log is a great idea, especially for people who have sleep disorders.
Health practitioners are always talking about tracking your sleep, if you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or a different sleep disorder). While I do track my sleep, I don’t ever take my log with me. It stays by my bed – so I forget to bring it to appointments.
If my sleep hours were kept online, and my doctor could access it during my appointment- it would be a relief to both of us. Finally it would be a way for my doctor to get accurate information on my sleep. But you would have to remember to track everyday. And other than myself, who does that?

Thanks for another informative video.
For me, the best solution is to keep regular sleeping hours.
Lately I’ve gone to bed around 3 am, and woke around 7-9 am. That’s not good.
Oh, and I like pancakes.

I sleep about 6 hours every night.
well from what i could gather cause i look at the clock when i wake up and compare that to the last time i looked at the clock before i went to sleep.

Sleep is vital for us… I’ve tried to keep a timer on how much I sleep and how much each day, I guess now I can!

Chris, you are so right . Sleep is not a wast of time it is criticle!!!
Dreaming is the brains way of defragmenting the mind.
Often things are much clearer after a good nights sleep
Dreams are fragmented portions of the enormous amount of data your brain has acumulated during the day from all your senses
During the normal dreaming periods that are called R.E.M.
( rapid eye movement) sleep, body movements are normally inhibited so that we don’t injure ourselves acting out our fragmented dreams
As such dreams have no meaning and are only part of the process of re- filing
The brain needs to sleep to function properly
Brain activity is very busy during sleep It is not idle . It is repairing and re-normalizing the body
Not enough importance is paid to the necessity of sleep.
Doctors in hospital who should know better. Pull 24 hour shifts when dealing with life and death situations .
A large proportion of vehicle accidents are due to sleep deprivation.
Don’t short change yourself on the importance of enough sleep and most importantly don’t wake up suddenly or you will feel rough for the whole day and make lots of mistakes
Wake up gently and doze some more. Then when you feel good get up feeling refreshed and enjoy the day
That is the only way to live

I think the relevant question here is whether they thought up the idea for this site closer to the begining or the end of the 24-hour “hackathon.”
