Up at 3 a.m. Again?
A 7-Night Perimenopause Sleep Diary to Take to Your Doctor

At 3:08 a.m., the house is quiet and tomorrow is already running through your mind. By breakfast, you may remember that you slept badly, but not when you woke, whether you felt hot, or how foggy you felt later. A seven-night tracker gives those small details somewhere to land—and gives you something clear to bring to your next appointment.

What to record each night

Four short fields to complete when it suits you

1 Time you woke up
2 Night sweats: yes / no
3 What helped you fall back asleep
4 How you felt next morning: brain fog, tired, ok
A gentle prompt, not a test: record only what feels useful to you.
