“…In insomnia, it is suggested that sleepiness propensity is not as relevant as sleepiness perception (Buysse et al, 2007;Faria et al, 2014;Marques, Gomes, Ferreira, & Azevedo, 2016;Pilcher et al 2000;Young, 2004). Thus, the DSPS-4 constitutes a questionnaire aimed at measuring the sleepiness perception as a psychological trait and can constitute a complement to the ESS.…”

DSPS-4: a Brief Measure of Perceived Daytime Sleepiness

Sleepiness is a key issue in sleep medicine but its definition remains ambiguous and difficult to address. Some studies have reported that sleepiness should be conceptualized as a multidimensional construct. One of these dimensions is sleepiness propensity accurately assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. However, in the literature, data on other important sleepiness dimensions, such as sleepiness perception, are lacking. In an attempt to fulfil the literature gaps, this study aims at presenting data regarding the development of a brief self-report instrument to assess daytime sleepiness perception, the Daytime Sleepiness Perception Scale (DSPS-4). A sample of 692 undergraduate Medicine students was initially enrolled. The sample was randomly split in order to perform independent exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). A one-factor solution was examined. The DSPS-4 showed good indicators of reliability and validity. The CFA confirmed the one-factor structure of the DSPS-4. The unidimensional structure of the scale was invariant for both sexes. Results highlight the usefulness of DSPS-4 to measure and assess sleepiness perception at daytime. The short length of this scale enables its incorporation in routine assessment protocols for example regarding insomnia complaints.However, more studies are now required to check its suitability for other samples, specifically well-defined clinical groups.

“…However, this definition is limited since sleepiness is not a unitary phenomenon (Cluydts et al, 2002). As shown in several studies, subjective sleepiness has multiple dimensions that go beyond an increased tendency to fall asleep (Jordan, 2012;Kim & Young, 2005;Pilcher, Pury, & Muth, 2003;Pilcher, Schoeling, & Prosansky, 2000).…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated that increased sleep duration and time in bed are associated with increased weight and daytime sleepiness and decreased mood, sleep quality, health and quality of well-being 52,53 . However, daytime sleepiness has been associated with sleep fragmentation rather than simply sleep duration, and since sleep fragmentation is directly related to time in bed, perhaps increased time in bed is itself harmful 27 .…”

While much is known about the negative health implications of insufficient sleep, relatively little is known about risks associated with excessive sleep. However, epidemiological studies have repeatedly found a mortality risk associated with reported habitual long sleep. This paper will summarize and describe the numerous studies demonstrating increased mortality risk associated with long sleep. Although these studies establish a mortality link, they do not sufficiently explain why such a relationship might occur. Possible mechanisms for this relationship will be proposed and described, including (1)sleep fragmentation, (2)fatigue, (3)immune function, (4)photoperiodic abnormalities, (5)lack of challenge, (6)depression, or (7)underlying disease process such as (a)sleep apnea, (b)heart disease, or (c)failing health. Following this, we will take a step back and carefully consider all of the historical and current literature regarding long sleep, to determine whether the scientific evidence supports these proposed mechanisms and ascertain what future research directions may clarify or test these hypotheses regarding the relationship between long sleep and mortality. WHO ARE THE LONG SLEEPERS?How much sleep do we need?Whereas the answer to this question usually involves the determination of the minimum amount of sleep required for the maintenance of health, less attention has been directed to the question of the maximum amount of sleep for optimum health. This may be an equally important issue, given research suggesting that there are negative health consequences of excessive sleep 1 .There is growing public awareness of the need for an adequate amount of sleep, and the myriad problems associated with insufficient sleep, which is consistent with a hypothesis

“…Retomando estos aspectos el modelo comportamental de la somnolencia excesiva diurna (Marín, 2001b; Marín y Vinaccia 2004a), concibe la somnolencia excesiva como una respuesta subjetiva caracterizada por un deseo irresistible de dormir, en circunstancias inapropiadas o no deseadas, determinada por tres variables conductuales en la estructuración de la misma: (1) Variables situacionales que alteran o fragmentan el sueño nocturno, estas variables están determinadas por aquellas conductas que causan privación de sueño y que van moduladas en consonancia con el modelo de regulación de sueño y factores circadianos del mismo. (2) creencias o pensamientos que fragmentan el sueño, estos pensamientos están basados prácticamente en cogniciones y evaluaciones negativas sobre la eficacia y necesidad de sueño, además de cogniciones que favorecen la conducta activista y el estado de alerta más allá de los patrones circadianos (Pilcher, 2000;Marín, 2005). (3) características fisiológicas que fragmentan el sueño nocturno, algunos de estas son patogé-nesis de tipos específicos de hipersomnias (déficit de hipocretina en la narcolepsia, características morfofisiológicas en la apnea obstructiva de sueño, entre otras), otras referidas a la arquitectvira de sueño y ciertas variables relacionadas con la calidad de sueño como: latencia de sueño, considerada como la medida de sueño en…”

El reciente desarrollo de la medicina comportamental del sueño, ha llevado a diferentes autores a pensar en la conceptuación explicativa de las diferentes patologías del sueño. Si bien es cierto que se ha avanzado en los diferentes modelos explicativos del sueño, como el modelo interactivo conductual, el modelo comportamental del sueño, el modelo de regulación del sueño, también es cierto que las conceptualizaciones comportamentales, hasta ahora y por lo general, habían estado de lado de comprensión del fenómeno del insomnio, y las tendencias explicativas de la somnolencia excesiva diurna, son de aparición reciente. El objetivo de este estudio, es hacer una revisión teóri-ca del planteamiento cognitivo comportamental del síndrome de narcolepsia cataplejía, planteado recientemente, analizando los puntos centrales de dicho modelo, en la explicación y la intervención de la narcolepsia, como aporte importante dentro de la medicina comportamental del sueño.Palabras clave: Narcolepsia, cataplejía, parálisis del sueño, alucinaciones hipnagógi-cas, modelo comportamental del sueño, medicina comportamental del sueño. Cognitive-behavioml model of naicolepsy-cataplexy syndrome: A theoretical viewRecent developments in behavioral sleep medicine have been made conceming conceptualization and explanation of different sleep disorders. Although it is certain that advances have been made in relation to different explanatory sleep models, such as the behavioral interactive model, the behavioral sleep model, and the sleep regulation model, it is also true that behavioral conceptualizations suggested until now had been focused on the comprehension of the phenomenon of insomnia. However, explanatory models of day time sleepiness have emerged only recently. In this study we review the cognitive-behavioral formulation of the narcolepsy-cataplexy syndrome. A model is presented, analyzing the central points of such model in relation to explanation and intervention aspects of narcolepsy, and suggesting the model as an important contribution to behavioral sleep medicine.
