Four hundred and seven women with interstitial cystitis participated in a Web-based study. One hundred percent of participants had poor sleep, with a mean sleep quality score of 13.4. This indicates very poor sleep. The predictor variables (nocturia, pain, and urinary urgency) were significant predictors of sleep quality when controlling for confounding variables.
