Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire

The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) is a 22–24 item parent-report screening tool for sleep-disordered breathing and associated daytime dysfunction in children ages 2–18 years. Developed by Ronald Chervin at the University of Michigan in 2000, the PSQ measures three domains: symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (snoring, witnessed apneas, gasping), daytime sleepiness and behavioral consequences, and sleep behavior problems (parasomnias, restlessness). It is widely used in pediatric primary care, ENT, and sleep medicine settings to identify children at risk for clinically significant sleep disorders.
