FSS is a 9-item questionnaire that is rated by participants on their level of agreement with statements regarding their levels of fatigue over the past week on a 7-point Likert scale.

Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)

Daily Sleep Log was completed by participants upon awakening in the morning. This is used to record any sleep-wake pattern. Sleep parameters derived from the sleep logs include total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), number of awakenings (NWAK), and sleep efficiency (SE).
