A person's life is a stage that passes in the time interval that ends with his birth when he opens his eyes to the world and his death when he closes his eyes to the world. Old age is a forced end for all people. Sleep is one of the most important and basic human needs.

These components are subjective sleep quality (component 1), sleep latency (component 2), sleep duration (component 3), habitual sleep efficiency (component 4), sleep disturbance (component 5), sleep medication use (component 6) and daytime dysfunction. (component 7). The evaluation score of each item is between 0-3. The total score obtained varies between 0-21. The higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.

High scores obtained from the scale mean that the perceived fatigue level is high. | 1 hours later |
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Evaluation | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written at the two ends of a 100 mm line, and the patient is asked to indicate where on this line their situation is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a dot or pointing. For example, for pain, I have no pain at one end and very severe pain at the other end and the patient marks his/her current state on this line. The length of the distance from the point where there is no pain to the point marked by the patient indicates the patient's pain. |
