You are so true, the sleep diary !!

[@fallon7616]

I wake up exactly at 3am but I fall asleep fine.

[@AndreasFroehlich1985]

Thank You

[@HH-CA]

Exactly 👌🏻👍🏼

[@2NiceyAckerman]

I sleep 10-11 hours a day. Is that normal?

[@gybx4094]

No, but I struggle to get 4 hours per day, so I wish I had your ability.

This is totally wrong, really bad advice. Subjective personal memory is worthless. I started using a Fitbit tracker and it gives vastly better information. You can get one for $100 or less, and if you have a sleep problem and won't spend even that, you're a fool.

why not use both?

People with serious sleep problems don't need tech it's a damn distraction.....
