To get an idea of just how well you are currently sleeping, SATED is a simple questionnaire developed by sleep researchers to determine the degree of your sleep fulfilment. The SATED sleep questionnaire asks you to score various aspects of your sleep to give you a measure of your sleep fulfilment. It highlights key areas for improvement and forms a baseline to measure from as you make changes and improvements. Take some time to fill in this questionnaire. It was developed and proposed by Daniel Buysse (2014)2 and is widely used and recognised by the National Institute of Health (NIH) as a means of self-reporting sleep fulfilment and has been used in over 150 peer reviewed papers and studies.How does your sleep score?
What is your SATED score out of 10? How does this reflect your sleep fulfilment at this time?

SATED, an example of a self-report sleep health questionnaire. This example of a self-report questionnaire could be used to measure dimensions of sleep health. Respondents indicate the frequency with which they experience or engage in each of 5 sleep-wake behaviours or characteristics. Sleep satisfaction is purely subjective. Each of the other questions is tied to measurable sleep-wake behaviour, and includes a quantitative aspect. Individual items are score from 0-2, and item scores are totalled. A total score of “0” represents poor sleep health, and a score of “10” good sleep health. Psychometric techniques such as item response theory could be used to validate this or similar questionnaires, determining ideal threshold values item information for different dimensions. © 2013 University of Pittsburgh.
