Article Synopsis
- - This study focused on translating and validating an Arabic version of the Sleep Preoccupation Scale (SPS) to assess how daytime thoughts about sleep affect sleep quality among Arabic speakers.
- - A total of 523 participants completed various sleep and anxiety questionnaires, and the SPS showed strong reliability and internal consistency in measuring sleep preoccupation.
- - The results indicated that the Arabic SPS correlates well with insomnia severity and anxiety related to sleep, confirming its effectiveness as a valid tool for this population.

The aim of this study was to translate this tool into Arabic and to evaluate its psychometric properties.
