This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I didn't sleep well last night and only slept for four hours. Today, when I woke up, I felt my heart beat harder than before. I thought I might got a heart attack. I was afraid to see a doctor so I asked my nurse friend what happened. She told me that maybe I slept too less. She sometimes has the same situation if she doesn't get enough sleep. I then went sleep and felt better after sleeping.

I'm an insomniac. There are steps you can take.

A major culprit is screen time. How much screen time do you have every day? Too much can ruin your sleep, especially if it's in the hour before bedtime.

Does computer screen count? If it counts, then it's at least 7 hours.

Yes, it counts. It refers to all screens - mobile phone, laptop/desktop, TV and even e-readers (Kindle etc).

You could say:

I didn't sleep well last night- just four hours.
