Can physiological sleepiness underlie consciously perceived sleepiness assessed with the Epworth sleepiness scale?

Measurement properties of the Epworth sleepiness scale

Sleep Medicine, 2003
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been estimated to affect 2–4% of middle aged adults [1]. Excessive daytime sleepiness is an important criterion both for establishing the severity of OSA and for determining the response to specific treatment such as nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) [2].

A Psychometric Analysis of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Journal of Nursing Measurement, 2007
Psychometric performance of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) has not been evaluated in groups of workers. This study evaluated its use in a sample of 843 long-haul truckers. Interitem correlations and Cronbach’s alpha were conducted. Correlation of the ESS with the sleep problems subscale of the Trucker Strain Monitor (TSM) was performed ...

Limits of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale in older adults

Sleep and Breathing, 2012

Sleep And Breathing, 2001
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is an important indicator when diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing and evaluating its treatment results. However, there appears to be some confusion as to what exactly is sleepiness; Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary does not help.
