The Sleep Diary in the EpiMonitor App provides a detailed, personalized analysis of your sleep patterns. Through this feature, you can track key information, such as your total sleep time, bed and wake times, and deeper insights like your turns and tosses and sleep interruptions. The Sleep Diary is designed to help you better understand your sleep habits, providing valuable insights that can support improved sleep quality over time.
For individuals with epilepsy, tracking sleep through the Sleep Diary is especially beneficial, as quality sleep plays a crucial role in overall health and can influence seizure activity.
The Sleep Diary feature is available on the Standard and Plus plans only. To find out more about our plans, visit EpiMonitor Subscription Plans.
EpiMonitor does not diagnose or make treatment recommendations based solely on sleep tracking. Instead, it provides helpful insights into your condition to support you and your doctor in determining the best approach to your care.

| This is the daily view of your Sleep Diary. In the next section, we’ll walk you through each metric to help you interpret your sleep patterns. | |
|
Sleep time, turns & tosses, and interruptions Sleep time (light blue): The period when you are sleeping, including the time you spend still in bed before fully falling asleep. Turns & tosses (dark blue): Movements during sleep, such as changing positions or brief awakenings. Interruptions: Periods when your sleep is interrupted, displayed as gaps in the sleep visualisation representing times you were awake. This visualization focuses on nighttime sleep, tracking rest periods from 6 p.m. to noon the following day. Shorter rests under two hours and daytime naps are not shown unless they overlap with this timeframe. |

|
Effective vs. total sleep time Effective sleep measures uninterrupted periods without significant turns, tosses, or interruptions. Higher effective sleep time reflects more restorative rest. |
|
|
|
|
Sleep time comparison Here, you can see the time you went to bed and woke up for the selected day, compared to the average over the past 7 days. Regular sleep patterns support your body's natural rhythms. Maintaining consistent sleep and wake times can improve both sleep quality and seizure management. |
|
|
|
|
Sleep fragmentation and efficiency Sleep fragmentation: Reflects how much your sleep was disturbed by movements or restlessness, shown as a percentage. Lower fragmentation generally indicates a more restful night and can help you plan for the day ahead. Sleep efficiency: Measures the quality of your sleep, with higher efficiency indicating less disrupted sleep. |
