After Six
Home

A modest project for better questions

a sleep diary

After Six is a small project for adults who want a clearer view of their nights without turning bedtime into another task at home. You record a few everyday details in the morning, including when you settled down, whether screens lingered, and how waking felt most mornings. The aim is a useful record, not a score, diagnosis, or promise for you.

Sleep can become harder to read when several small factors overlap in ordinary life. A late message, a warm room, or an inconsistent bedtime may leave you guessing at times. After Six keeps those details together in a plain journal each night. It does not tell you what is wrong at all. Instead, it gives you a place to note patterns across 2 or 3 weeks. You might compare earlier screen cutoffs with easier settling, or notice that a busy evening appears beside more awakenings. Morning grogginess deserves a note too, because your first impression can add context to the night. If concerns continue, bring them to a doctor.

The page offers practical context, with room for questions, imperfect nights, and ordinary life as well.

Why the project stays low-key

A modest project for better questions

Private by default

Your notes stay on your own device.

No account required

There are no accounts to create, and the design avoids advertising. You can keep entries private while choosing what deserves your attention today.

Reflection, not measurement

The app is built for reflection rather than measurement, so it does not diagnose, treat, or judge nights. It can hold simple notes about timing, screens, and how you felt on waking. If something worries you, a doctor can help decide what to do next, clearly.

Can this app tell me why I wake up tired?
No. It helps you record bedtime, screen timing, awakenings, and morning grogginess, then review those notes for everyday patterns rather than explanations or medical conclusions about your personal health over several weeks and ordinary mornings at home without pressure or judgment.
Is the app available now?
No, it is still being prepared here.
What should I track?
Start with bedtime, approximate settling time, overnight awakenings, screen use, and how clear or groggy you feel after getting up on ordinary mornings. You can also note a late meal, unusual stress, travel, or a changed schedule when those details seem relevant to your evening or morning. Keep entries brief enough to repeat for 2 weeks on busy days. Patterns are easier to notice when notes stay honest, ordinary, and specific to your daily experience over time. If sleep trouble worries you, a doctor can offer personal guidance.
What if I wake up during the night?
Record the awakening when you remember it, along with a rough sense of how long you were awake and whether you checked a screen before returning to bed. One interruption does not explain a whole night, so review several nights instead of judging yourself by one morning with a little perspective. If awakenings keep bothering you, consider discussing them with a doctor directly.
