Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Time Frame: 14 weeks
This index evaluates sleep quality and disturbance over the past month. It contains a total of 24 questions. 19 of these questions are answered by the person's self-assessment, and 5 of them are answered by the roommate who shares the same room with the person. The 5 questions answered by the person's roommate are not included when calculating the score. In scoring, the lowest (0) and the highest (21) points are obtained. A score of 4 and above indicates poor sleep quality.
