摘要
The present study was conducted to investigate the difference in the characteristics of daytime sleepiness between narcolepsy and essential hypersomnia and to identify the relationship between the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) in patients with these two disorders. Subjects consisted of 34 patients with essential hypersomnia (32.4 +/- 11.0 years old), 52 patients with narcolepsy (29.0 +/- 13.8 years old), and 45 control subjects (33.3 +/- 6.6 years old). The subjects completed the ESS and underwent MSLT following a regular sleep-wake schedule for over 2 weeks. The ESS scores were pathologically high and mean sleep latency on MSLT was short, not only in narcolepsy but also in essential hypersomnia. With respect to sleep latencies on each MSLT session, both essential hypersomnia and control subjects had the smallest value at 14:00, while narcolepsy lacked any statistical change at this time period. The correlation between ESS and mean sleep latency on MSLT was higher in essential hypersomnia than in narcolepsy, and the correlation was strongest for the session performed at 14:00. Based on the ESS and MSLT results, the severity of excessive daytime sleepiness was significantly milder in essential hypersomnia compared with that in narcolepsy. The results also indicate that diurnal variation of sleepiness was maintained, and the correlation between subjective and objective sleepiness was relatively maintained in essential hypersomnia compared to narcolepsy. It is suggested that the mild disease severity of essential hypersomnia contributed to the formation of these characteristics.
