| Research Abstract |
Based on the consistency, sensitivity and specificity measured in a pilot study (n=51), it was demonstrated that the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleeping Scale (JESS), which reflects the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS), could easily detect sleepiness. A subsequent cross-sectional survey of 915 participants revealed that the average total score (standard deviation) for JESS was 10.9 ± 4.3 points. A high prevalence (51.6%) of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) was also identified. Since subjective sleep quality and JESS are uncorrelated and self-recognition of sleepiness is assumed to be difficult, these findings indicate the need for self-assessment of sleepiness during shift work.
