Evaluating sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in nursing students: psychometric validation of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

These findings support the use of both instruments mainly in nursing-student populations and comparable settings, helping to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of sleep health.
