Record bedtime and wake time each morning
When to use this goal
For students whose tiredness affects school and whose team, family, or health provider wants a sleep record, which the student can keep themselves. Present levels decide fit. Keeping the log is the goal; sleep itself is a family and health matter.
- Baseline
- Start the log for two weeks and count entries. Ask the student which tool (paper, a phone note, a simple app the family approves) they would actually use.
- Tips
- Count an entry as complete when it has bedtime, wake time, and one word. Share the log with the family and nurse only as the student and family agree. Review it with the student weekly; patterns are useful for their own planning.
- Limits
- Self-reported times can be rough. The log does not change sleep by itself; any sleep plan comes from the family and health providers. This goal never replaces the individualized health plan, medication orders, or an emergency action plan; the nurse, the family, and the student's health care provider decide care, and the goal follows their plan.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
