Abstract
The SBS is a revised version of the Sleep Hygiene Awareness and Practice Scale. Possessing a simplified scoring method, the SBS consists of the nine most salient questions from the previous scale, along with 11 relevant additions. The scale requires respondents to indicate how certain behaviors (e.g., drug consumption, daytime and evening activities) can influence the quality and quantity of an individual’s sleep. Since the tool assesses the beliefs and attitudes of a respondent, it may be relevant for both clinical and research purposes – as a means for evaluating an educational program, for example, or as an instrument for examining sleep beliefs in treatment and clinical populations.
