Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not undergoing surgery or those with serious perioperative complications may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the sleep quality of patients scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia. It focuses on understanding how preoperative anxiety and postoperative factors, such as pain and hospital environment, affect sleep patterns. Participants will complete self-administered questionnaires to provide insights into their sleep experiences before and after surgery. The study seeks to identify the prevalence of sleep disorders in this population and the potential impact of general anesthesia on circadian rhythms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of sleep disorders in surgical patients, enhancing their overall recovery experience.
How similar studies have gone: While there is existing literature on postoperative sleep disorders, this study's specific focus on surgical patients' sleep experiences is relatively novel.
