Hi all,
I am currently studying the link between sleep quality and emotion regulation using daily measures through digital self-report. A key component that differentiates sleep quality from sleep quantity is the sleeper's subjective experience. To capture this, I have pulled question 6 from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (during the past month, how would you rate your sleep quality overall?), and modified it to better fit my research, which gathers a report for each circadian cycle (during the past 24 hours, how would you rate your sleep quality overall?). There are four possible responses from the PSQI which I have kept the same (very good, fairly good, fairly bad, and very bad). Are there better measures of subjective sleep quality that could be used on a daily basis? Thanks.
10 point analogue scale for e.g. "feeling refreshed", and "good sleep quality" are sensitve questions for subjective reporting. Optimal for time series establishment.
Dear Evan Vidas , are you still on course with your research? How much value would your study gain from comparing subjective to OBJECTIVE sleep quality measures? There is new research on a non-contact sleep monitor, that might be of interest to you: Article Validation of sleep stage classification using non-contact r...
