Questions marked with a * are required

The Study Title: Development of a self-report measure to assess sleep satisfaction through community-based participatory research: The Suffolk Sleep Index (SuSi).

Research Lead: Dr Stephen Hunt.

Dear Participant,

You are invited to take part in a research study that will help develop a new measure to assess people’s sleep satisfaction: the Suffolk Sleep Index (SuSi) Please click for the participant information form.

Sleep satisfaction refers to an individual's positive feelings about their sleep experience and their sleep environment.

There are three sections:

· Your sleep experience last night.

· About you, e.g. related to health and lifestyle.

· An established sleep quality questionnaire: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

This is included so we can compare answers against our questionnaire; some of the questions overlap with those already asked.

There are no right or wrong answers; we are only interested in your personal views.

It should take about 15 minutes and you are free to withdraw at any time, without offering any explanation and without there being any consequence.

By completing the consent form, you are consenting to complete the questionnaire. This study has been given a favourable opinion by the University of Suffolk Research Ethics Committee. If you have any concerns about this research, please do not hesitate to contact the Research Office at: research.ethics@uos.ac.uk.
