Official title
The Sleep Stress Connection: Investigating How Sleep Quality Affects Mental and Physical Health
Overview
This study aimed to explore the relationship between sleep quality and its impact on mental and physical health, particularly in the context of stress. A mixed methods approach will be used including: a pre-test questionnaire and physiological measurements that depend on scales for measuring to assess sleep patterns: DASS21, fatigue assessment scale, Epworth sleeping scale, and SF-12 health survey scoring. All of that will highlight the importance of addressing sleep quality as a crucial factor in promoting overall well-being.
