Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Sleep Diary
Those who are having issues with sleep are recommended to keep a sleep diary. This does two things for you. 1. It helps you discover where you are having issues and where you are not. 2. It helps you track what sleep techniques are are using and what ones are working.

Sample:

Monday:

Total Hours slept:

Difficulty get to sleep? 1-easy 10- hard:

Sleep Hygiene techniques used? : 1.
2.
3.

Nap during day? Yes/No

Time I went to bed?

Time I got up?


Hints: Do not try using more then three techniques at a time as you will not be able to tell what is or isn't working. Use the same techniques for at least one week in a row. Track your sleep using a daily diary until you have a regular schedule that is working for you.
