What is a Sleep Prescription?
Many Veterans say that, even if they do not get more sleep, they would be happy to have uninterrupted sleep. If you are someone who gets only about 5 hours of sleep per night, but these 5 hours are interrupted by periods of wakefulness, your first goal for improving your sleep will be to have longer bouts of uninterrupted sleep. Later, as your sleep becomes more consolidated, you will move towards extending your time in bed to increase your total sleep time. The tool to help you do this is called a Sleep Prescritption.
Warning
It has not been at least five days since your last sleep prescription was saved. It is not recomended to change your prescription until you have at least five days on your current prescription.
Initial Sleep Prescription
Here your sleep prescription is calculated for you. First, select a wake time that is right for you. (IMPORTANT: This wake time should NOT be the time you want to wake up after your sleep improves, but rather the time that you typically wake up NOW. You’ll work towards your ideal wake time as you proceed through the course.) Finally, select the Calculate Button to receive your initial sleep prescription.
You do not have 5 days of sleep diary entries saved since your last prescription modification. It is recommended not to modify your sleep prescription until after you have at least 5 days since your last prescription modification.
