Questionnaire Overview for Sleep Hygiene

Introduction

The development of this questionnaire project is to assess sleep hygiene and sleep-related practices that tend to affect one's life. The project aims at establishing the effort to come up with questionnaires that assess the sleep hygiene; the behaviors related to sleep and the possible problems associated with sleep. It also tries to find out social determinants of sleep and attitudes about rest as it relates to the normal functioning of the body and its effects. The study will aid in future about sleep determinants, for instance, the role of behavior, social and environmental factors for healthy sleep. The project aims at creating a total of 20 questions in the form of open-ended and close-ended questionnaires.

Open-ended questions in the questionnaire are those that enable the target audience to present their feelings in the manner of their own choice. These questions are not definitely about a predetermined answer and therefore give the respondents a chance to express their feelings correctly one at a time. The questions always earn accurate feedback from the respondents. The close-ended questions type of questionnaire is one which contains several choices and gives the respondent a chance to select only one option among the several. The types of questions enable the research to arrive at opinions more efficiently.
