CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It screens for common indicators of insufficient sleep and fatigue, including daytime sleepiness, reduced attention, mood changes, microsleeps, and caffeine reliance. Results provide a brief snapshot based on recent sleep patterns and daytime functioning.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 10 minutes. The questionnaire includes 65 items.
Is the result a medical diagnosis?
No; it is for informational use only and does not diagnose a sleep disorder or other condition. Seek professional evaluation if symptoms are severe, sudden, safety-related, or persistent.
What time period should be used when answering?
Use the most recent one to two weeks unless an item specifies a different time frame. Answer based on typical days during that period, not an unusually good or bad day.
How should results be used after completion?
Use the summary to identify areas that may benefit from improved sleep duration, schedule consistency, and reduced sleep disruption. If the score suggests high fatigue, avoid driving or hazardous tasks when sleepy and prioritize recovery sleep.
