Gevorest Sleep Quality Index

The GSQI (Gevorest Sleep Quality Index) is a tool for measuring sleep quality based on self-assessment. Its goal is to raise public awareness about their sleep quality. To achieve this, Gevorest collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh in the USA, obtaining permission to use the Greek version of this tool.

The GSQI is a reliable and valid method of assessment, providing a brief but clinically useful evaluation of potential issues affecting sleep quality. This tool can be easily used by the public and scientifically evaluated by doctors and researchers.

 

Complete the following questionnaire, which consists of 20 simple questions about your sleep, to learn about your sleep quality level.

Based on the results of the Sleep Quality Index (GSQI), you will find specific recommendations below for each level of sleep quality. Follow these suggestions to maintain or improve your sleep quality:
