Do ‘sleepy’ and ‘tired’ go together? Rasch analysis of the relationships between sleepiness, fatigue and non-restorative sleep complaints in a non-clinical population sample. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objective:
The lack of distinction in the clinical use of terms like fatigue and sleepiness is an important issue. While both fatigue and sleepiness can potentially be associated to non-restorative sleep (NRS) complaints, their relationships are still poorly described. We propose to use Rasch-analysis based methods to study the interrelations of fatigue, sleepiness and NRS.
Methods:
150 subjects (mean age 39.3, 18-65) from a ...
