在普通人群中，白天过度嗜睡是一个新认识到的问题，关于这个问题几乎没有标准化的信息。我们的目的是测量澳大利亚工人样本中白天嗜睡的水平和白天过度嗜睡的患病率，并将其与他们自我报告的夜间睡眠习惯以及他们的年龄，性别和肥胖联系起来。在澳大利亚一家公司的分支的507名白天工作的员工中，有65%的人匿名回答了睡眠问卷和埃普沃思嗜睡量表（ESS）。正常睡眠者，没有任何睡眠障碍的证据，ESS评分在0到10之间，平均值为4.6 ± 2.8（标准差）。如前所述，他们与患有发作性睡病或特发性睡眠过度的“嗜睡"患者明显不同，后者的ESS评分在12-24之间。ESS评分>10分代表白天过度嗜睡，其患病率为10.9%。这与年龄（22-59岁）、性别、肥胖或催眠药物的使用无关，但与睡眠呼吸障碍（打鼾和呼吸暂停的频率）、失眠和卧床时间减少（睡眠不足）有显著但微弱的相关性。
Excessive daytime sleepiness in the general community is a newly recognized problem about which there is little standardized information. Our aim was to measure the levels of daytime sleepiness and the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness in a sample of Australian workers and to relate that to their self-reported sleep habits at night and to their age, sex, and obesity. Sixty-five percent of all 507 employees working during the day for a branch of an Australian corporation answered a sleep questionnaire and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) anonymously. Normal sleepers, without any evidence of a sleep disorder, had ESS scores between 0 and 10, with a mean of 4.6 +/- 2.8 (standard deviation). They were clearly separated from the ''sleepy'' patients suffering from narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia whose ESS scores were in the range 12-24, as described previously. ESS scores >10 were taken to represent excessive daytime sleepiness, the prevalence of which was 10.9%. This was not related significantly to age (22-59 years), sex, obesity, or the use of hypnotic drugs but was related significantly but weakly to sleep-disordered breathing (frequency of snoring and apneas), the presence of insomnia, and reduced time spent in bed (insufficient sleep).
