Multiple dimensions of excessive daytime sleepiness

Abstract: Background: In this study we investigated subjective measures of sleepiness and related our findings to dimensions of affect, fatigue, emotion, mood and quality of life based on a hypothetical multidimensional model of sleepiness. Methods: Patients referred to a sleep clinic were assessed regarding their excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), sleep complaints, routine and symptoms.

“…The other significant determinant of depressive mood in our cohort was ESS score, which is also in line with the previous reports. In one study, 50 patients who were referred to the sleep clinic for sleep disturbances and EDS were evaluated based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaires and a significant association between EDS and depression was demonstrated (Smith et al., ). In a large cross‐sectional survey of 8,937 adults, sleepiness was associated with an increased risk of major depression (Ohayon, ).…”

However, given the limitations of the ESS in assessing sleepiness, 164,165 patients with OSA who are non-sleepy or minimally symptomatic as assessed by the ESS, may experience clinically important improvements in sleepiness. As such, the clinician assessment of sleepiness should not be solely based on the ESS.…”

“…37,5% do total de pacientes avaliados apresentaram sonolência excessiva diurna em diferentes graus, de acordo com a avaliação da ESS. É importante destacar que a sonolência excessiva diurna interfere no humor, emoção, fadiga, diminui a atenção, a concentração, a paciência, acarreta déficit cognitivo, redução do rendimento laboral e acidentes de tráfego (7,10,11,15), repercutindo direta ou indiretamente nos serviços de saúde e na previdência, elevando o percentual de usuários de ambos, representando um problema de saúde pública.…”
