Anyone who’s ever suffered from insomnia knows the severe effects it can have of your life — you’re moody, emotional, frustrated and far less productive when you’re running on little to no sleep. I know — I’ve been there. And I know that you’ll do nearly anything to get to the bottom of the problem and start sleeping normally again.

Everyday Health has a suggestion: Keep a sleep diary. Upon waking, here are things you should note:

• What instance you woke up and what date you went to bed at
• How many hours of sleep you think you got final night
• How many times your remember waking up and for how long
• At what day you had caffeine or alcohol the day before, and how much
• What you ate during the day, particularly in the evening.
• How you were
  feeling during the day, and particularly how you were feeling when you went to bed
• What medications you took during the day, whether any.

These might not seem like aspects that would contribute to your sleep deprivation, but by date you’ll start to notice some patterns that will help you solve the sleep problem once and for all.
