Daytime Insomnia Symptom Scale

The Daytime Insomnia Symptom Scale (DISS) is a focused assessment tool measuring the daytime functional consequences and symptoms resulting from nighttime insomnia. Developed within research on sleep disturbance and daytime functioning, it captures the daytime manifestations of poor sleep: fatigue, concentration difficulty, mood disturbance, and functional impairment in work, social, and personal domains. The DISS is particularly valuable in quantifying the real-world impact of insomnia on daily activities and quality of life.
