The patient is asked to nap for 20 minutes, and then is awakened. The nap process is repeated every 2 hours for a total of four or five times. The patient must remain awake for the entirety of the 2 hours between nap opportunities. The patient may be asked to fill out a post-test questionnaire.
MSLT Scores Minutes Sleepiness 0–5: Severe 5–10: Troublesome 10–15: Manageable 15–20: Excellent A sleep onset latency of 0 to 5 minutes means severe sleep deprivation, 5 to 10 minutes is "troublesome", 10 to 15 minutes indicates a mild but "manageable" degree of sleep debt, and 15 to 20 minutes is indicative of "little or no" sleep debt.
The MSLT measures, by several nap opportunities in one day, how long it takes a person to fall asleep. It also determines whether REM sleep appears upon falling asleep. [2] [4] It is usually performed immediately after an overnight study. This test is the standard to test for narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. [5]
Consisting of 19 items, the PSQI measures several different aspects of sleep, offering seven component scores and one composite score. The component scores consist of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency (i.e., how long it takes to fall asleep), sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency (i.e., the percentage of time in bed that one is asleep), sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication ...
The REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) is a specific questionnaire for rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) developed by Stiasny-Kolster and team, [1] to assess the most prominent clinical features of RBD. [2] It is a 10-item, patient self-rating instrument with short questions to be answered by either 'yes' or ...
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), an eight-item questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 24, is another tool used to screen for potential sleep debt. A January 2007 study from Washington University in St. Louis suggests that saliva tests of the enzyme amylase could be used to indicate sleep debt, as the enzyme increases its activity in ...

The SWAI has been compared to the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), which is an objective measure that is considered the gold standard of sleepiness assessment; it measures sleep onset latency during several daytime opportunities. The SWAI-EDS has been found to correlate moderately to highly with average MSLT scores. [1]
