==Purpose==
The Teacher's Daytime Sleepiness Questionnaire (TDSQ) is a teacher-reported measurement<ref name=":0">Owens JA, Spirito A, McGuinn M, Nobile C. [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12610081_Sleep_Habits_and_Sleep_Disturbance_in_Elementary_School-Aged_Children Sleep habits and sleep disturbance in elementary school-aged children]. Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. 2000; 21: 27–36</ref>. It measures the daytime sleepiness of children from the perspective of their teachers observed in the classroom, like difficulties staying awake, yawning etc.

==Indended population==

*Children aged 4-10 years<ref name=":1">Lewandowski AS, Toliver-Sokol M, Palermo TM. Evidence-Based Review of Subjective Pediatric Sleep Measures. Journal of Pediatric Psychology. 2011; 36(7): 780–793.</ref>

==Technique==

*Administration: the teacher is requested to assess the frequency of daytime sleepiness behaviors.
*Time to administer: 10-15 minutes.

==Scoring==
The TDSQ consists of items rated on a 3-point scale (1= <nowiki>''</nowiki>never, or rarely<nowiki>''</nowiki>, 2= <nowiki>''</nowiki>sometimes<nowiki>''</nowiki>,  3= <nowiki>''</nowiki>usually<nowiki>''</nowiki>)<ref name=":0" />. 

The total score is calculated as the sum of all the items, with higher scores indicating a greater level of daytime sleepiness issues in the school context for the child<ref>Longobardi C, Lin S, Fabris MA.
