Abstract

Sleepiness is a frequent problem among children with suspected SDB. Subjective sleepiness (PSQ-SS) reflects MSLT results to a limited extent, as in adults. Standard polysomnographic measures of SDB predict subjective sleepiness, but respiratory cycle-related electroencephalographic changes may offer additional clinical utility.
