Sleep quality assessment questionnaire

To dream is to live. But do you really sleep well?

Sleep is much more than just rest: it is the key to your well-being, balance, and daily performance. Yet, many people are unaware of its quality.

Elite supports you in your quest for restful nights. Inspired by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) — a self-assessment tool developed in 1989 by experts from the University of Pittsburgh and scientifically validated — this quiz will help you measure the subjective quality of your sleep.

The version presented here includes personalized recommendations based on the expertise of Dr. José Haba-Rubio (sommeil.ch), a recognized specialist in sleep medicine, to help you identify potential sleep disorders.
