Who this is for
Anyone whose sleep is unpredictable and who wants to find the factors behind it without strapping on a tracker.
The moment this saves you
I know my sleep is off but I can never connect it to anything, because by lunchtime I've completely forgotten that I lay awake until 2am or that I had wine at dinner.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Rough night. I'd guess I got like five and a half hours, took me forever to fall asleep, probably didn't drop off until 1. I woke up around 4 and was up for a while. I think the culprit was I had coffee way too late, like 4pm, and I was also on my phone in bed which I know I shouldn't do. Room felt a bit warm too. I feel pretty groggy this morning, not great.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to say how I slept last night. Turn it into a dated sleep log with labeled lines: a bold "Sleep log, [today's date]" heading, then Estimated sleep (use my number or estimate), Fell asleep (time, if I gave one), Woke during the night (only if I mention it), Likely factors (the things I suspect affected it, phrased as factors, not confirmed causes), and Morning feeling (how I feel now). Record only what I report. Do NOT diagnose or give sleep advice. Don't invent times or factors. Output only the log.

Questions people ask
Questions wellness ask about Sleep Log
How do I keep a sleep log without typing every day?
Speak your entry instead of typing it. The Sleep Log context accepts a spoken description of when you slept and how rested you feel and formats it into a sleep log entry with the date and relevant fields. You can log in under 30 seconds, hands-free, without opening a tracking app or typing a single character.
What should I include in a daily sleep log entry?
A useful entry includes the date and time, the specific when you slept and how rested you feel you are tracking, and any relevant context such as what you were doing or how you were feeling. The Sleep Log context structures your spoken description to capture all of these automatically, so your log stays consistent even when you are rushing.
Can I share my sleep log with my doctor?
Yes. The sleep log entry Contextli produces is plain text, so you can copy it into any app, email, or patient portal. Because entries are consistently structured with the same fields each time, a provider can read through multiple entries quickly. The raw recording and transcription stay on your device.
Is there a faster way to keep a sleep log than a traditional app?
Speaking is faster than tapping through form fields. The Sleep Log context accepts a 15 to 30 second voice description and produces a complete sleep log entry with your when you slept and how rested you feel filled in. Most people log more consistently when the barrier is 20 seconds of speaking rather than two minutes of tapping.
How do I add this context to Contextli?
Copy the context on this page, then open Contextli and go to the Contexts page. Click Import, choose From JSON, paste it into the Import from Clipboard window, and click Import Context. It is ready to use in under 30 seconds. If you do not have Contextli yet, you can download it for free first.
Is my voice recording private? Does Contextli send it anywhere?
Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
Yes. Every context in Contextli is a starting point you can edit. Open the context in the app, change the instructions to adjust the structure, tone, or fields, and save. The next time you use it, the output reflects your changes. You are not locked into the default format.
Do I need to install an app to use this context?
Yes. Contextli is a free app. Download it, then copy this context and paste it into the Import from Clipboard window on the Contexts page. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
