Abstract

Historically, outcome studies in insomnia research have tended to focus on night-time sleep parameters. Only recently has there been emphasis on assessing aspects of functioning and health-related quality of life. Interestingly, there are mixed findings concerning whether improvements in sleep are actually accompanied by improvements in daily functioning. One potential reason for this is that current measurement techniques (predominantly pre-determined generic scale methods) may not be sensitive enough to fully capture the impact of insomnia. We
report here the development of a new measure, the Glasgow Sleep Impact Index (GSII), which takes a more idiographic approach to assessing sleep-related quality of life.
