The EEG of Drowsiness
This description and classification of the electrophysiologic features of drowsiness in normal adults offers a new technique for investigation of sleep-wake and other disorders.
Driver Drowsiness Detection
This SpringerBrief presents the fundamentals of driver drowsiness detection systems, provides examples of existing products, and offers guides for practitioners interested in developing their own solutions to the problem. Driver drowsiness causes approximately 7% of all road accidents and up to 18% of fatal collisions. Proactive systems that are capable of preventing the loss of lives combine techniques, methods, and algorithms from many fields of engineering and computer science such as sensor design, image processing, computer vision, mobile application development, and machine learning which is covered in this brief. The major concepts addressed in this brief are: the need for such system...
Drowsiness
Drowsiness is a major cause of accidents in many areas of human activity, and transportation is probably the single most important source of drowsiness-related accidents. For example, one-third (1/3) of fatal accidents on highways in France are reported due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel. The large number of such driving accidents is due to the combined sheer number of road vehicles and the fact that, until recently, car manufacturers and safety authorities have taken no drastic, effective actions to prevent these accidents (even though they are generally preventable).In 2019, the European Union (EU) Parliament adopted rules requiring life-saving technologies in means. Starting in...

Sleepiness, an Issue of Sleep Medicine Clinics
Pathological sleepiness is a fundamental symptom of sleep disorders. Daytime sleepiness is a common problem which can have a significant negative impact on the health and well being of these individuals. This issue reviews the investigation of sleepiness, as well as some of the more common causes: narcolepsy, chronic hypersomnia, sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disorders, neuromuscular disorders, and sleep-disordered breathing.
Sleepiness and Human Impact Assessment
The World Health Organization supports tools and initiatives in Health Impact Assessment to dynamically improve health and well-being across different sectors. Human Impact Assessment (HuIA) is a relatively new concept. It describes an integrated process that encompasses both Health Impact Assessment and Social Impact Assessment and is used to anticipate the effects of programs, projects and decisions on human health and welfare. Sleep occupies approximately one-third of our lives, but its human impact remains largely unrecognized. The prevalence of excessive sleepiness is recognized to be increasing in industrialized societies. Without doubt, sleepiness and fatigue have high costs in terms ...
An Assessment of Driver Drowsiness, Distraction, and Performance in a Naturalistic Setting
This report documents the results of a study to characterize episodes of driver drowsiness and to assess the impact of drowsiness on driving performance. This data mining effort performed additional analyses on the data collected in an earlier FMCSA study of the effects of fatigue on drivers in local/short haul operations. The primary objectives of the study were to investigate drowsiness as a naturally occurring phenomenon by identifying and characterizing episodes of drowsiness that occurred during every period of driving and to determine the operational or driving-environment factors associated with drowsy driving. A total of 2,745 drowsy events were identified in approximately 900 total ...
Fast Facts: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Excessive daily sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea is a multifaceted complaint that usually involves disabling symptoms. Despite being a common complaint, best practice regarding the management of patients is not well defined, and failure to recognize the severity of the effects of symptoms on quality of life results in underdiagnosis, preventing patients from receiving adequate treatment. 'Fast Facts: Excessive Daily Sleepiness Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea' discusses the difficulties in formulating a single definition of excessive daily sleepiness that appropriately considers the experiences and features of daytime sleepiness, alongside an up-to-date overview of how to accurately assess patients, and ensure effective management and support. Table of Contents: • Epidemiology and etiology • Clinical features and diagnosis • Management • Patient impact and support
