Summary

Experts agree on key indicators of good sleep quality, such as sleep continuity variables, for all ages. Further research is needed on sleep architecture and naps for comprehensive sleep quality understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Establishing reliable indicators of good sleep quality is crucial for public health.
  • Previous research has not definitively identified universally accepted metrics for sleep quality across the lifespan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish evidence-based recommendations for indicators of good sleep quality.
  • To provide guidance to the public on assessing sleep quality across all life stages.

Main Methods:

  • Convened a Sleep Quality Consensus Panel of sleep experts and stakeholder representatives.
  • Conducted a systematic literature review of 277 studies.
  • Utilized a modified Delphi RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method with three voting rounds for consensus.

Main Results:

  • Achieved expert consensus on sleep continuity variables (sleep latency, awakenings, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency) as indicators of good sleep quality.
  • Limited consensus was reached on sleep architecture and nap-related variables as indicators of good sleep quality.

Conclusions:

  • Consensus exists among experts on specific sleep quality indicators for healthy individuals.
  • Public health initiatives on sleep quality require collaborative, multi-stakeholder efforts.
  • Future research should investigate the relationship between sleep architecture, naps, and overall sleep quality.
