Alcohol Hangover, Sleep Quality, and Daytime Sleepiness
Sleep and Vigilance, 2017Co-Authors: Marith Van Schrojenstein Lantman, Thomas Roth, Timothy Roehrs, Joris C. VersterAbstract:Heavy drinking has been shown to disrupt sleep, increase Sleepiness the next day, and produce symptoms collectively referred to as “hangover”. A survey was conducted to determine the impact of heavy alcohol consumption on sleep, Daytime Sleepiness, and hangover severity. N = 335 adults, experienced with alcohol hangover, completed a survey of sleep quality, Daytime Sleepiness, and hangover symptoms comparing a heavy drinking occasion with a non-alcohol occasion. Data from those who reported >5-h sleep on the alcohol occasion were compared to those reporting

caffeine sleep and Daytime Sleepiness
Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2008Co-Authors: Thomas Roth, Timothy RoehrsAbstract:Summary Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed psychoactive substances and it has profound effects on sleep and wake function. Laboratory studies have documented its sleep-disruptive effects. It clearly enhances alertness and performance in studies with explicit sleep deprivation, restriction, or circadian sleep schedule reversals. But, under conditions of habitual sleep the evidence indicates that caffeine, rather then enhancing performance, is merely restoring performance degraded by Sleepiness. The Sleepiness and degraded function may be due to basal sleep insufficiency, circadian sleep schedule reversals, rebound Sleepiness, and/or a withdrawal syndrome after the acute, over-night, caffeine discontinuation typical of most studies. Studies have shown that caffeine dependence develops at relatively low daily doses and after short periods of regular daily use. Large sample and population-based studies indicate that regular daily dietary caffeine intake is associated with disturbed sleep and associated Daytime Sleepiness. Further, children and adolescents, while reporting lower daily, weight-corrected caffeine intake, similarly experience sleep disturbance and Daytime Sleepiness associated with their caffeine use. The risks to sleep and alertness of regular caffeine use are greatly underestimated by both the general population and physicians.

the pediatric Daytime Sleepiness scale pdss sleep habits and school outcomes in middle school children
Sleep, 2003Co-Authors: Christopher L Drake, Thomas Roth, Chelsea Nickel, Eleni Burduvali, Catherine Jefferson, Pietro BadiaAbstract:STUDY OBJECTIVES: To develop a measure of Daytime Sleepiness suitable for middle-school children and examine the relationship between Daytime Sleepiness and school-related outcomes. DESIGN: Self-report questionnaire. PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred fifty, 11- to 15-year-old students, from grades 6, 7, and 8 of a public middle school in Dayton, Ohio. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: A pediatric Daytime Sleepiness questionnaire was developed using factor analysis of questions regarding sleep-related behaviors. Results of the Sleepiness questionnaire were then compared across other variables, including daily sleep patterns, school achievement, mood, and extracurricular activities. RESULTS: Factor analysis on the 13 questions related to Daytime Sleepiness yielded 1 primary factor ("pediatric Daytime Sleepiness"; 32% of variance). Only items with factor loadings above .4 were included in the final Sleepiness scale. Internal consistency (Chronbach's alpha) for the final 8-item scale was .80. Separate one-way analyses of variance and trend analyses were performed comparing pediatric Daytime Sleepiness scores at the 5 different levels of total sleep time and academic achievement. Participants who reported low school achievement, high rates of absenteeism, low school enjoyment, low total sleep time, and frequent illness reported significantly higher levels of Daytime Sleepiness compared to children with better school-related outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The self-report scale developed in the present work is suitable for middle-school-age children and may be useful in future research given its ease of administration and robust psychometric properties. Daytime Sleepiness is related to reduced educational achievement and other negative school-related outcomes.

functional outcomes of excessive Daytime Sleepiness in older adults
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2003Co-Authors: Nalaka S Gooneratne, Terri E Weaver, Jacqueline R Cater, Frances M Pack, Heidi M Arner, Andra S Greenberg, Allan I PackAbstract:OBJECTIVES: To describe the effect of self-reported excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) on functional outcomes. DESIGN: Case-control study designed to examine differences in functional status between cases (with Daytime Sleepiness) and controls (no Daytime Sleepiness) with regard to demographic factors, general health, sleep history, and medications. SETTING: Retirement communities in southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-six nondepressed, nondemented adults, aged 65 and older, were cases (had Daytime Sleepiness) and 38 were controls (had no Daytime Sleepiness). MEASUREMENTS: Standardized questionnaires to assess disease-specific functional status (Functional Outcomes of Sleepiness Questionnaire (FOSQ) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale), dementia (Short Blessed Test), demographic factors, current medical history, and sleep complaints. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in functional status between sleepy cases and nonsleepy controls. Sleepiness had a moderate to large negative effect (effect size range from 0.59 to 0.83, P <.005) on the following functional domains of the FOSQ: social outcome, general productivity, vigilance, activity level, and global assessment of functional status. Correlation between ESS and FOSQ subscales were -0.31 to -0.67, P <.05. Examination of cases with Daytime Sleepiness revealed increased functional impairment in individuals with more than three medical conditions or those taking more than four medications (P <.001 and P =.03, respectively). CONCLUSION: Daytime Sleepiness is associated with functional impairments in a broad range of activities. The decrease in daily functioning noted in the sleepy subjects has implications for deconditioning and related comorbidity. These findings suggest that exploration of Daytime Sleepiness should be part of the ongoing assessment of the elderly, particularly those with multiple medical conditions.

modafinil as adjunct therapy for Daytime Sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnea
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: Allan I Pack, Jonathan R L Schwartz, Jed Black, Jean K MathesonAbstract:Patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome can experience residual Daytime Sleepiness despite regular use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study assessed the efficacy and safety of modafinil for the treatment of residual Daytime Sleepiness in such patients. Patients received modafinil (n = 77) (200 mg/d, Week 1; 400 mg/d, Weeks 2 to 4) or matching placebo (n = 80) once daily for 4 wk. Modafinil significantly improved Daytime Sleepiness, with significantly greater mean changes from baseline in Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores at Weeks 1 and 4 (p 10 min; 29% versus 25%). Headache (modafinil, 23%; placebo, 11%; p = 0.044) and nervousness (modafinil, 12%; p...
