“…The ESS is significantly correlated with sleep latency as measured by objective measures such as the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and overnight polysomnography (PSG), and it can detect changes following continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment (Johns and others, 1991 ). It remains one of the most widely used measures of habitual daytime sleepiness (Kaplan and Gasperetti, 2020 ).…”

“…In a validation study, Kaida et al ( 2006 ) found a close correlation between electroencephalographic measurements and behavioral variables. KSS is indicated as a measure of momentary sleepiness (Kaplan and Gasperetti, 2020 ).…”

“…There are many scales for measuring sleepiness (over a 100 according to Shahid et al, 2012 ) and, as a consequence, choosing one over the others can be difficult—for a recent review of the pros and cons of 24 of these measures see Kaplan and Gasperetti ( 2020 )—. The three scales mentioned before were chosen because they measured different aspects of sleep disruption.…”

“…The ESS instead is indicated for measuring habitual daytime sleepiness or average sleep propensity (Johns, 2008 ). Finally, the KSS asks for momentary sleepiness at the time of responding (Kaplan and Gasperetti, 2020 ). As the participants filled the questionnaires during the mornings, approximately between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. the scores in the KSS can be taken as an indicator of sleepiness in the first part of the day.…”

The Relationship Between a Baby's Age and Sleepiness in a Sample of Mothers

2021

One question of great practical importance for the parents, and especially the mother, after the birth of a baby, refers to how long the time during which they have to go with less and more fragmented sleep actually lasts. Most of the studies only explore this issue up to 6 months of the newborn's life, and less is known about the sleep problems the mothers may have after this initial period. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the sleep disruption and daytime sleepiness of mothers with infants until 2 years old compared to a group of women currently not at care of babies. To this end, a sample of 113 women, 67 currently bringing up a baby of under 2 years old, and the remainder without a baby at their care under 6 years old, reported sleep duration, sleep interruptions, sleep quality, and responded to questionnaires of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. The relationship between the age of the children and the comparison between the groups was used to highlight the sleep problems of the mothers taking care of the infant. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between the age of the infant and the duration of the sleep of the mothers and that the duration of sleep for them was similar to those of the women in the control group about 6 months after the infant was born. However, fragmentation of sleep, daytime sleepiness, and sleep problems were still higher than in the control group for mothers with children between 6 and 12 months old.
