Primary | Sleep quality evaluated using the Pittsburgh Quality Sleep Index | The total scale score is in the range of 0 (minimum) -21 (maximum), and the high total Pittsburgh Quality Sleep Index (PSQI) score indicates that sleep quality is low. A total PSQI score between 0-4 indicates good sleep quality, while between 5-21 shows that sleep quality is low. | Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice. | |
Secondary | Daytime sleepiness evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale | This scale, which is a four-point Likert type, aims to evaluate the probability of sleepiness during the individual's daily life between 0-3 points. The scale score is in the range of 0 (minimum) -24 (maximum), and a total Epworth Sleepiness Scale score of 11 or above indicates excessive daytime sleepiness. | Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice |
