The patient is scheduled for elective surgery with an expected postoperative stay of at least one night in the surgical ward. A conscious state and cognitive status that allows for responding to the questionnaire. Sufficient proficiency in the Persian language to complete the questionnaires OR the presence of a companion to assist in completion in accordance with ethical guidelines.

Need for anesthesia or repeated/emergency interventions that disrupt the sleep monitoring process.
