Sammanfattning	The IRLS is a 10-item clinician-administered rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Developed and validated by Walters and colleagues in 2003 for the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, it is the most widely used disease-specific severity measure for RLS in clinical practice and research. The scale captures the cardinal features of RLS—nocturnal leg discomfort, urge to move, sleep disruption, and functional impairment—across multiple dimensions.	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.
