37.7% of frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers showed sleep disorders (PSQI >7)
Why This Assessment Matters
The PSQI is the most common subjective measure of sleep quality used globally. Developed at University of Pittsburgh in 1989, it assesses 7 components of sleep over a 1-month period: quality, latency, duration, efficiency, disturbances, medication use, and daytime dysfunction.
✨ Key Benefits
- Comprehensive assessment — Goes beyond "hours slept" to capture sleep quality and daytime impact
- Validated for healthcare workers — Proven reliable during COVID-19 pandemic, shift work, and high-stress periods
- Identifies specific issues — Component scores pinpoint whether your problem is falling asleep, staying asleep, or something else
- Free to use — Available from Pitt's Center for Sleep and Circadian Science
- Available in 56+ languages — Global validation across diverse populations
😴 Poor sleep directly impacts patient safety, clinical decision-making, and your own mental health. Healthcare shift workers are at high risk for sleep disorders. The PSQI score >5 indicates poor sleep (89.6% sensitivity, 86.5% specificity). Don't ignore the warning signs—measure your sleep before fatigue costs you.
