Subjective Sleep Quality Metrics

Meaning

Subjective Sleep Quality Metrics are the self-reported assessments of an individual’s sleep experience, reflecting their personal perception of the restorative nature and efficiency of their rest. These metrics include feelings of morning alertness, ease of sleep onset, number of awakenings, and overall sense of refreshment upon waking. While not based on physiological measurement, these subjective reports are clinically valuable for assessing the lived experience of sleep and identifying areas of concern. They provide essential context that complements objective data, guiding personalized sleep optimization protocols.
