Doctors explain why sleep efficiency is one of several important factors for getting the rest you need. Skip to main content. 24/7 Help. For premium support please call: 800-290 ...
Sleep efficiency (SE) is the ratio between the time a person spends asleep, and the total time dedicated to sleep (i.e. both sleeping and attempting to fall asleep or fall back asleep). It is given as a percentage. [1] SE of 80% or more is considered normal/healthy with most young healthy adults displaying SE above 90%.
Rating (adequate, good, excellent, too good*) Explanation with references Norms: Not applicable: Mean and standard deviation do not exist because the SSS is a single item questionnaire. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, split half, etc.) Not applicable: SSS only has one question Inter-rater reliability: Not applicable
The component scores consist of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency (i.e., how long it takes to fall asleep), sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency (i.e., the percentage of time in bed that one is asleep), sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each item is weighted on a 0–3 interval scale.
Setup. Overall, the system was easy to set up and use. It took about two-and-a-half hours for the Pod 3 to be fully functional, including stripping and remaking the bed.
MSLT Scores Minutes Sleepiness 0–5: Severe 5–10: Troublesome 10–15: Manageable 15–20: Excellent A sleep onset latency of 0 to 5 minutes means severe sleep deprivation, 5 to 10 minutes is "troublesome", 10 to 15 minutes indicates a mild but "manageable" degree of sleep debt, and 15 to 20 minutes is indicative of "little or no" sleep debt.
A DSPD subject exhibited an average sleep onset latency twice that of the 3 control subjects and almost twice the amount of wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO) as control subjects, resulting in significantly poorer sleep efficiency. Also, the temporal distribution of slow wave sleep was significantly altered in the DSPD subject.
