Is there any standardized instrument/questionnaire that can be used in non-clinical and field setting to measure the level of awareness about sleep hygiene and/or compliance to advice regarding sleep hygiene? Whether Yoga is included as one of the components of sleep hygiene / cognitive behavioral therapy?
I am looking for information regards any internationally accepted standardized manual and also validated questionnaire to seek information on Sleep Hygiene from study subjects.
Good day Aayam ,
I have not come across a specific tool as you are requested. I have used focus groups and training records to assess knowledge in mining ,oil and gas.
However I have read this thesis that may be useful "YOGA FOR IMPROVING SLEEP QUALITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF OLDER ADULTS IN A WESTERN CULTURAL SETTING" by Jonathan S. Halpern B.Sc. (Engin.) M.Sc. (TCM) .Here is a link to his work http://www.alternative-therapies.com/openaccess/ATHM_20_3_halpern_37_46.pdf.
Hope this helps

Hello AAyam,
There are published instructions on practicing good sleep habits. You can find them in Appendix E of the Handbook of Sleep medicine, second edition 2011 Lippincott Williams &Wilkins (editors Avidan & Zee).
In brief useful tips for better sleep fall within the following sections:
1) increase drive for sleep at night (sleep homeostatic factors)
2) increase regularity of sleep/ wake schedule (circadian factors)
3) medication and drug effects
4) arousal in sleep setting.
If you cannot access the book, let me know, so I type it for you here
Kind regards,
Tatyana
Hello Aayam,
For our pilot study, Hand self-Shiatsu for sleep problems in persons with chronic pain, we used the Sleep Beliefs Scale. It is a validated tool used to determine knowledge about sleep and identify relationships between sleep beliefs and sleep quality. Below is a reference to it.
Adan A, Fabbri M, Natale V, Prat G. Sleep Beliefs Scale (SBS) and circadian typology. J Sleep Res. 2006; 15(2): 125-132.
Best regards,
Leisa
