About this scale
Questionnaires measuring sleep quality are useful in many studies. This because quality of sleep can affect emotion and performance during the day. The Groningen Sleep Quality Questionnaire Meijman et al., 1988,1990 is a well established scale and measures simply the quality of last night's sleep. This makes it useful in, for example, diary studies. It takes just a minute to fill in and it has simply yes/no answers.
