Here are a collection of handouts, questionnaires and information sheets about sleep, ADHD, and fatigue. The sleep handouts are mostly based on Colin Espie's excellent self-help book "Overcoming insomnia and sleep problems" and the intention is that the handouts would be used in conjunction with this book - see the bottom of the page for more details.
Sleep diary and instructions - a key component of Espie's CBT programme is the use of this weekly diary form to both assess the sleep problem initially and then monitor progress.
Sleep diary, measuring progress - this is a form that can be helpful when measuring overall progress using information from the sleep diaries.
Sleep advice - fairly standard general advice about improving sleep.
Sleep stimulus control - this and sleep restriction (see below) are probably both the most challenging and the most useful components of a CBT approach for insomnia.

Sleep, ADHD & fatigue
This section contains handouts, questionnaires and information sheets about sleep, ADHD, and fatigue. The sleep handouts are mostly based on Colin Espie's excellent self-help book "Overcoming insomnia and sleep problems" and the intention is that the handouts would be used in conjunction with this book - see the bottom of the page for more details. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is an alternative way of assessing severity of sleep problems and tracking progress - it is more convenient than assessment with a sleep diary but less accurate.
