Subjective sleepiness is a sensitive indicator of insufficient sleep and impaired waking function

Abstract: SUMMARYThe main consequence of insufficient sleep is sleepiness. While measures of sleep latency, continuous encephalographical/electro-oculographical (EEG/EOG) recording and performance tests are useful indicators of sleepiness in the laboratory and clinic, they are not easily implemented in large, real-life field studies. Subjective ratings of sleepiness, which are easily applied and unobtrusive, are an alternative, but whether they measure sleepiness sensitively, reliably and validly remains uncertain.

“…During each driving session the subjects self-reported their sleepiness level on the 9-grade Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) every five minutes [24]. The KSS scale has been proven to be a sensitive indicator and is well validated [25].…”

“…This is within the range of normal 'middle of the day' values from several studies investigating sleepiness in daytime workers, and detailed in a recent review of the KSS (Table 3). 14 The influence of sleep, demographics and injury severity on quality of life (AQoL utility) Univariate analysis identified BNSQ total, BNSQ Q2b, age, years since injury and injury severity as significantly associated with mean health utility values. None of these variables were collinear.…”

“…Indeed, as revealed in a principal components analysis, the SSS is not a unidimensional scale of sleepiness (MacLean, Fekken, Saskin, & Knowles, 1992). Since the objective and laboratorial tests of sleepiness are not feasible in most of clinical practice, the use of subjective measures appears to be a suitable alternative (Åkerstedt, Anund, Axelsson, & Kecklund, 2014). Besides, Ohayon (2012) posits that "surprisingly, almost no epidemiological studies have questioned the participants about the impact of excessive sleepiness on their daytime functioning" (p.422).…”
