Assesment of sleep disturbances

 Sleep disturbances can relate to the experience of stress, existence of health conditions (e.g. mental health disorders), or presence of independent disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnoea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder. The assessment of sleep functions uses interviewing and brief standardized self-reported questionnaires to identify the potential presence of sleep disturbances, ascertain their impact on functioning, and inform rehabilitation planning, including the referral to specialist services if needed.
