VIGNETTES FOR HEALTH STATE DESCRIPTIONS
I will now read to you some descriptions of persons with varying levels of difficulties in different areas of health. I would like to know how you view each of these descriptions and rate how much of a problem or difficulty the person described has in that area of health in the same way that you described your health to me. While giving the rating, think of the person as someone who is of your age and background.
Vision, Sleep and Energy
[Paolo] has no trouble falling asleep at night and does not wake up during the night, but every morning he finds it difficult to wake up. He uses an alarm clock
but falls back asleep after the alarm goes off. He is late to work on four out of five days and feels tired in the mornings.
Literal question
In the last 30 days, how much of a problem did you have due to not feeling rested and refreshed during the day (e.g. feeling tired, not having energy)?
