摘要

It is critical in operational environments to identify individuals who are at higher risk of psychomotor performance impairments. This study assesses the utility of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for predicting degraded psychomotor vigilance performance in an operational environment. Active duty crewmembers of a USA Navy destroyer ( N = 69, age 21 54 years) completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale at the beginning of the data collection period. Participants wore actigraphs and completed sleep diaries for 11 days. Psychomotor vigilance tests were administered throughout the data collection period using a 3-min version of the psychomotor vigilance test on the actigraphs. Crewmembers with elevated scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (i.e. Epworth Sleepiness Scale greater than 10) had 60% slower reaction times on average, and experienced at least 60% more lapses and false starts compared with individuals with normal Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores (i.e. Epworth Sleepiness Scale 10). Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores were correlated with daily time in bed (P less than 0.01), sleep (P less than 0.05), mean reaction time ( P less than 0.001), response speed 1/reaction time ( P less than 0.05), slowest 10% of response speed (P less than 0.001), lapses ( P less than 0.01), and the sum of lapses and false starts (P less than 0.001). In this chronically sleep-deprived population, elevated Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores identified that subset of the population who experienced degraded psychomotor vigilance performance. We theorize that Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores are an indication of personal sleep debt that varies depending on one's individual sleep requirement. In the absence of direct performance metrics, we also advocate that the Epworth Sleepiness Scale can be used to determine the prevalence of excessive sleepiness (and thereby assess the risk of performance decrements).
