Summarise What You Know About Your Own Sleep Patterns and What They Might Indicate

Poor sleep is not one problem. Difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, early waking, and sleeping enough hours but feeling unrefreshed are different problems with different causes and different interventions. Treating the wrong one is why generic sleep advice often fails. This categorises your specific pattern, identifies the most plausible causes, and names the two lowest-effort interventions with the strongest evidence for your type, not for sleep problems in general.

Describe your sleep pattern honestly:
- Typical bedtime and wake time: {SLEEP_TIMES}
- How you feel when you wake: {MORNING_FEELING}
- What happens during the night: {NIGHT_DESCRIPTION}
- How you feel by [3pm]: {AFTERNOON_ENERGY}
- How long this has been the pattern: {DURATION}
- Context: {CONTEXT} [stress, work patterns, life changes, anything relevant]

Summarise what this pattern might indicate:
1. The probable type: which category of sleep challenge this most resembles (difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, early waking, inconsistent schedule, insufficient hours, or poor quality sleep despite adequate hours)
2. The most plausible causes: the [two or three] most likely explanations for this specific pattern, based on the description
3. The simplest things to test first: the [two] lowest-effort interventions with the strongest evidence for this type of challenge, and what to expect if they work
4. When to see a doctor: the specific signals in this description, if any, that suggest this should be evaluated medically rather than self-managed

Note: this is general information, not medical advice. Persistent or severe sleep problems should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
