Measurements of sleepiness and fatigue
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2010Sleepiness and fatigue are terms commonly used in clinical practice and research. At times sleepiness and fatigue are used interchangeably; however, each of them has distinct implications for diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this article is to review the psychometric properties of the measurements of sleepiness and fatigue.

Abstract In Chapter 1, I mentioned that the cortex is unable to switch off and rest to any marked extent, outside sleep. On the other hand, many brain structures below the cortex, largely controlling vital body functions and common to all mammals, continue to function fairly normally throughout sleep, as in wakefulness. Unlike the cortex,

SUMMARY Falling asleep at the wheel accounts for a sizeable number of vehicle accidents under monotonous driving conditions. The risk of driver death and serious injury is high. Circadian factors are profound and seem to be of equal (if not more) importance to the duration of the drive. Unfortunately, only the latter tends to be built into legislation.

Narcolepsy represents the best understood disorder of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). EDS presents in 100% of patients with narcolepsy; it is usually the first and the most disabling symptom, which varies in aspects, such as onset age, severity, and clinical characteristics.

Sleepiness and sleep deprivation among adolescents are increasingly being recognized as a public health concern. Many of the determinants of this growing problem lie beyond the biomedical scope of explanation. In this article, the authors begin with a review of the prevalence and consequences of sleepiness in adolescents and then present the approach ...

Sleep medicine can be a particularly rewarding clinical area for neurologists. After all, the driving organ of sleep is the brain. Many of the sleep disorders are primary brain disorders, whereas other sleep disorders (and their medications) influence brain function.

Excessive daytime sleepiness has pathologic causes and numerous adverse consequences; therefore, it requires medical attention in older adults. Excessive sleepiness in older adults is often multifactorial and may signal an underlying sleep disorder, chronic medical condition, undiagnosed mood disorder, or side effects of medications.

Sleepiness and drowsiness are neurophysiologic states that may cause attenuation of vigilance and slowing of reaction times, and thus increase the risks of driving. This article reviews selected peer-reviewed publications from the past and present body of knowledge regarding sleepiness and drowsiness while driving and related accidents, injuries, and ...

The sleepy adolescent: causes and consequences of sleepiness in teens
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2008The majority of adolescents do not obtain the recommended amount of sleep, resulting in significant daytime sleepiness. For most adolescents, insufficient sleep results from the interaction between intrinsic factors such as puberty and extrinsic factors such as school start times.

Awareness of sleepiness: Temporal dynamics of subjective and objective sleepiness
Psychophysiology, 2021AbstractWe systematically examined the temporal relationships between subjective sleepiness and both physiological drowsiness and performance impairment in a controlled laboratory setting. Eighteen healthy young adults (8 women;MAGE = 21.44 ± 3.24 years) underwent 40 hr of extended wakefulness, completing a bihourly Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS ...
