Athens Insomnia Scale – Chinese Version

Description

The scale was designed in 1985 by the Ohio State University College of Medicine. Due to its ease of use and accurate self-testing results, it has been widely applied in clinical practice and has become an internationally recognized standard scale for assessing insomnia. The scale consists of eight items that evaluate different aspects of sleep quality.
