“…To remain consistent with our cutoff strategy for SCT on the BAARS-IV, in this study we classified participants as exhibiting clinically significant daytime sleepiness if four or more items were endorsed as occurring "often" or "very often" (scores of 3 or 4). Using this cutoff strategy resulted in a daytime sleepiness mean item score of 2.64 (SD = 0.29) and a total sum score of M = 21.12 (SD = 2.37) for the clinically significant group, which is consistent with past work that used cutoffs to identify individuals with clinically significant daytime sleepiness on the PDSS (Drake et al, 2003;Maganti et al, 2006). The PDSS total mean score was examined in the present study (a = .96).…”

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and daytime sleepiness are both common in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There appears to be considerable overlap between the tired and lethargic aspects of SCT and behaviors frequently exhibited by individuals with daytime sleepiness. However, no studies have examined the degree to which these constructs overlap and whether or not they are empirically distinct. In Study 1, a confirmatory factor analysis with the SCT subscale of the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale-IV (BAARS-IV) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was conducted in a sample of 768 college students. Results demonstrated that SCT and daytime sleepiness exhibit considerable overlap but are empirically distinct. In Study 2, we examined the relation between SCT and daytime sleepiness and also the impact of comorbid SCT and sleepiness on the functioning of 58 college students rigorously diagnosed with ADHD. Regression analyses in both Study 1 and Study 2 showed that SCT predicts daytime sleepiness above and beyond symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and depression. The 2 constructs were significantly related (r = .51), with the highest correlations occurring between the SCT tired and lethargic items with daytime sleepiness. College students with ADHD + SCT and daytime sleepiness were significantly more impaired than college students diagnosed with ADHD without SCT or daytime sleepiness. Together, these results fill an important gap in the literature by confirming SCT to be overlapping but empirically distinct from daytime sleepiness and demonstrating that SCT and daytime sleepiness are associated with functioning in college students with ADHD.

“…Wirrell et al [48] found that children with refractory epilepsy have more sleep fragmentation, increased sleep latency, and more daytime drowsiness when compared with siblings without epilepsy. In a questionnaire applied to parents, Maganti et al [49] found that symptoms of OSA and parasomnias were independent predictors of EDS in children with epilepsy. The type of epilepsy syndrome, type of antiepileptic medication, or seizure frequency did not correlate with EDS.…”

Sleep disorders are common in childhood. The prevalence of childhood sleep disorders is higher in chronic neurologic disorders, specifically epilepsy. Sleep needs, requirements, and structure are different in children compared with adults. These variables are disrupted severely in patients with epilepsy. Electroencephalogram abnormalities, nocturnal seizures, and medications may contribute further to sleep problems and affect daytime functioning. These sleep disturbances may worsen seizure control and affect quality of life. This article offers an overview of the normal sleep patterns in children, describes the interaction of electroencephalogram, sleep, and commonly found sleep disorders, and reviews the current literature of the main sleep disturbances found in children with epilepsy.

“…More recently, Larson et al [4] have shown that increased epilepsy severity and AED polythereapy were associated with sleep problems. In contrast with these findings, Maganti et al [37] did not find an association between day-time sleepiness and epilepsy syndrome, AEDs used and the presence of seizure freedom. In the present study, none of the epilepsy-related variables including epilepsy…”
