The Interplay Between Addiction to Tobacco Smoking and Sleep Quality Among Healthy Adults

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).The questionnaire consists of 19 individual items, generating seven "component" scores: sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. The component scores are added to yield one "global" score, with a range of 0-21 points, with higher scores indicating more severe sleep difficulties.

Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS).The questionnaire includes nine items, each describing a specific nicotine withdrawal symptom. Participants indicate the degree of severity with which they experienced each symptom in the preceding 24 hours on a 5-point scale (0-4). The items are averaged for a single severity score (0-4), with a higher score indicating a more severe level of dependence.

Brief Questionnaire on Smoking Urges (QSU). consists of 10 items, each a statement referring to the amount of craving for a cigarette at a given point in time. Participants indicate the level of their agreement with each statement on a 7-point Likert scale (1-7). The final score is the sum of all responses (range:10-70), with a higher score indicating a stronger urge to smoke.

Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II). Includes 21 items, each consisting of four statements representing increasing levels of severity of a particular depressive symptom. Participants specify which statement best describes their feeling in the preceding week. The scores are added for a final score (0-63), . with a higher score indicating a more severe state of depression.

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).The portion of the questionnaire that assesses state anxiety includes 20 items, each a statement relating to the participant's sense of anxiety at that point in time. Participants indicate agreement with each statement on a 4-point scale (1-4). The scores are added for a final score (20-80), with a higher score indicating a more severe state of anxiety.
