The authors prospectively studied 91 consecutive patients with traumatic brain injury who were admitted to an outpatient neurorehabilitation program. Besides administering the PSQI, Beck Depression Inventory, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Multidimensional Pain Inventory, sleep diary and interview data were obtained and used to divide subjects into insomnia and noninsomnia groups according to the criteria established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, ed 4.

Sleep diary data provided concurrent validity for PSQI estimates of sleep-onset latency, sleep duration, and sleep efficiency. The Be...Continue Reading
