The Groningen Sleep Quality Scale (GSQS) is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure sleep quality. It consists of 15 items with true/false responses, making it a quick and easy tool for assessing sleep quality from the previous night.

Key Features

Scoring Interpretation

Each question is scored 0 or 1, with some items reverse-scored. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.

0-5: Good sleep quality

How to Use This Test

For best results, take this test every morning for two weeks to track your sleep patterns. This will help identify if poor sleep is a recurring issue that needs attention.
