What this trial studies

This study aims to translate and validate the French version of the Sleep Regularity Questionnaire (SRQ), a tool designed to measure sleep irregularity and its impact on health. The research will involve patients with chronic insomnia or circadian rhythm disorders who will undergo a 14-day actimetry assessment to evaluate their sleep-wake patterns. The study will assess the reliability and validity of the French SRQ by comparing it to established measures of sleep regularity. The findings could provide valuable insights into the relationship between sleep patterns and overall health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are French-speaking adults aged 18 and older with chronic insomnia or circadian rhythm disorders.

Not a fit: Patients with current psychiatric or neurological disorders, unstable cardiovascular or respiratory diseases, or those who are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved assessment and management of sleep health in French-speaking populations.

How similar studies have performed: While the SRQ has been validated in English, this study represents a novel effort to adapt and validate it for French-speaking populations.
