ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving how we understand and measure sleep health, particularly for individuals dealing with chronic insomnia or circadian rhythm disorders. Researchers want to translate a tool called the Sleep Regularity Questionnaire (SRQ) into French and ensure it is reliable for French-speaking patients. This questionnaire will help identify sleep irregularities, which can affect both mental and physical health.

To participate in the study, you must be at least 18 years old, fluent in French, and have a condition that requires monitoring your sleep for 14 days. It's important that you can complete questionnaires on your own and have no current serious mental or neurological disorders. If you join the study, you will help researchers validate this new tool, which could ultimately help improve sleep health for many people. Your participation is voluntary, and you can ask questions or express any concerns before deciding to take part.
