Headache Management: Sleep Strategies

Tools to track sleep and headaches

By tracking your sleep, you can learn more about your sleep patterns and see if there are improvements when you change your sleep behaviours, sleep space, or your thoughts about sleep. If you don’t already track your headaches, consider tracking them, too.

We have 4 tools that can help with this. If you’d like, you can download or print these tools now and fill them out. Fill them out again after you’ve tried some new sleep strategies to see how your sleep has changed. These tools are for your own reference.

Current Sleep Status Questionnaire
Glasgow Sleep Impact Index (GSII): Part 1 (do the GSII: Part 2 a few weeks after part 1, and after trying some new sleep strategies)
Sleep diary
Headache diary (also available as an app)
