The National Sleep Foundation developed a reliable Sleep Satisfaction Tool (SST) to measure general population sleep satisfaction. This validated instrument provides researchers with a new way to assess sleep quality.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Science
  • Psychometrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) previously developed a provisional Sleep Satisfaction Tool (SST).
  • A need existed to statistically validate and refine this tool for broader application.
  • Assessing general population sleep satisfaction is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test, refine, and add statistical rigor to the provisional Sleep Satisfaction Tool (SST).
  • To create a robust and reliable instrument for measuring sleep satisfaction in the general population.
  • To identify key factors contributing to sleep satisfaction through public input.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review and expert consensus panel (2017).
  • Open-ended survey, cognitive testing, and a national survey of internet users (ages 18-90).

  • Factor analysis and final consensus voting to establish the 9-item SST.

    • Main Results:

    • Exploratory surveying identified 'mind relaxation' as a key factor.
    • Cognitive testing refined question and response formatting.
    • The final 9-item SST demonstrated strong reliability and internal validity, with an overall mean score of 56/100.

    Conclusions:

    • The NSF successfully developed a novel, reliable research tool (SST) for measuring general population sleep satisfaction.
    • The SST is a short, nonclinical assessment that enhances researchers' toolkit for studying sleep satisfaction.
    • Future research will focus on refined scoring, factor weighting, and application across diverse populations.
