Sleep quality
Sleep quality is the degree to which sleep is sufficient, regular, and restorative for the body and cognitive functioning.
Definition
It's not just about the number of hours. Sleep quality includes the ease of falling asleep, sleep continuity, feeling rested, circadian rhythm and the impact of sleep on concentration, emotions and health. Adults usually need about 7-9 hours of sleep, but regularity and lack of chronic waking are also important.
