The whole idea of not having them look at a clock to know what time it is, is to compare the objective data (ie. polysomnogram) with their subjective data (ie. questionaire). Some pt's state they are up all night, when in fact, they've actually slept quite a bit. This is the only way to compare the two. The morning questionaire should include questions pertaining to how long they think they were in bed, how long they think it took them to go to sleep, how much total sleep they got, if they dreamed, etc. If they have a clock, the data becomes obscured.
