ROOMMATE PREFERENCE QUESTIONNAIRE

Here at SIESTA, our researchers developed the ROOMPREF Questionnaire to provide a free tool that administrators/managers/practitioners can use to derive “clusters” of individuals that may be suitable for rooming together (e.g., sports teams, school/college students, military), based on the ranking of importance across key areas including:  chronotypes (morning/neutral/evening types) and sleep environment preferences (e.g., noise, light, and temperature preferences). Below you will find a step-by-step guide for using the ROOMPREF.
