Abstract

Developed as a 28-item questionnaire, the BEDS scale evaluates the presence of four different types of sleep problems in ­elementary-school-aged children: expressive sleep disturbances (e.g., screaming, sleep-walking), sensi­tivity to the environment, disoriented awakening, and apnea/bruxism. As these factors do not necessarily relate to specific sleep disorder diagnoses, the tool is recommended by its developers for research purposes and not as “an instrument to replace a qualified clinical diagnosis” [1].
