Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	sleep quality	The effect of interventions on sleep will be measured. The Richard Cample Sleep Scale will be used for this. A score of "0-25" indicates "very poor sleep" and a score of "76-100" indicates "very good sleep".	In the study, the sleep quality of the patients will be evaluated for 5 days after the sleep.
Primary	fatigue	The effect of interventions on fatigue will be measured. Brief Fatigue Invantory; (BFI) will be used for this. Scoring the items are between "0" and "10", where "0" means not affected at all and "10" means affected at the highest level.	In the study, the fatigue of the patients will be evaluated for 5 days in the evening, before the interventions.
