Docs: Sleep questionnaires

Updated on August 1, 2025

There are 2 sleep questionnaires (click on the names to see the PDFs):

(1) the sleepiness_scale

  • will be asked before sleep and in the morning before the task
  • the person running the task will fill in:
    • participant ID
    • date/time
    • date/time of last seizure
    • *sleep quality
    • *naps
      • * these last 2 are to be asked only in the evening before sleep
      • for the morning session just write “N/A”
  • then hand the form over to the participant to circle the answers to the Standford Sleepiness Scale and the mood/alertness/sleepy scales

 

(2) the sleep_report

  • the sleep report will be started in the evening and finished in the morning
  • the person running the task will ask the questions and fill in the answers on the sheet
  • the details of the polysom should be added in the evening, including:
    • which channels were recorded (cross out any not recorded, add any extras into the empty rows)
    • the positioning of the electrodes
  • in the morning the outcome of the polysom should then be filled in the table – if they stayed on, and estimate of when they might have come off
  • then the rest of the questions should be asked before the memory task starts
    • include as much detail as possible in the answers, like what woke them (eg a blood draw), and just generally any details they give
    • please try to fill in all the boxes, even if the answer is negative
    • the participant may not know the answer to the medications question, if possible ask a member of the clinical team or write “Unknown”.

 

Once the sleep surveys are complete please hole punch and place in the back of the blue book.
