“…Further, the effect sizes of the other associations are higher for sleepiness perception except for extraversion and BMI. These findings are in line with previous studies which suggest that sleepiness propensity is not a very relevant measure to insomnia (Buysse et al, 2007;Faria et al, 2014;Pilcher et al, 1997;Sanford et al, 2006).…”

“…Using the same sample of the current study, Faria et al (2014) showed that perceived daytime sleepiness (assessed with the DSPS-4), but not daytime sleep propensity (assessed with the ESS), was significantly associated with both self-reported insomnia and worry-related sleep disturbance. Pilcher et al (1997) also found in college students that sleepiness as measured by the SSS was more associated with sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) than the ESS, which was not related to either sleep quality or sleep quantity. For example, in the study by Sanford et al (2006), it was observed that sleepiness propensity as measured by the ESS did not differentiate insomnia patients from healthy sleepers.…”

DSPS-4: a Brief Measure of Perceived Daytime Sleepiness

Sleepiness is a key issue in sleep medicine but its definition remains ambiguous and difficult to address. Some studies have reported that sleepiness should be conceptualized as a multidimensional construct. One of these dimensions is sleepiness propensity accurately assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. However, in the literature, data on other important sleepiness dimensions, such as sleepiness perception, are lacking. In an attempt to fulfil the literature gaps, this study aims at presenting data regarding the development of a brief self-report instrument to assess daytime sleepiness perception, the Daytime Sleepiness Perception Scale (DSPS-4). A sample of 692 undergraduate Medicine students was initially enrolled. The sample was randomly split in order to perform independent exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). A one-factor solution was examined. The DSPS-4 showed good indicators of reliability and validity. The CFA confirmed the one-factor structure of the DSPS-4. The unidimensional structure of the scale was invariant for both sexes. Results highlight the usefulness of DSPS-4 to measure and assess sleepiness perception at daytime. The short length of this scale enables its incorporation in routine assessment protocols for example regarding insomnia complaints.However, more studies are now required to check its suitability for other samples, specifically well-defined clinical groups.

“…Research addressing this topic includes a study by Faubel et al 25 who administered the SF-36 to elderly individuals in Spain. Other studies concerning this association that did not employ the SF-36 were also found 26,27,28 and two studies exist regarding this relationship in students 26,27 . Other investigations have assessed the relationship between health status and sleep disorders 29,30,31 .…”

“…The CHOICES program Decreased physical activity and poor nutrition [15][16][17], as well as other factors such as inadequate sleep [18] and stress [19] are leading contributors to a variety of shortand long-term negative health consequences among young adults. The CHOICES (Choosing Healthy Options in College Environments) trial was designed to develop and test innovative strategies to prevent unhealthy weight gain in students attending 2-year colleges [20].…”

Young adults are at risk for weight gain in the transition to independent adulthood; 2-year college students are at greater risk and understudied relative to 4-year students. This project conducted formative research for a randomized controlled weight gain prevention trial among 2-year college students, to ensure appropriateness of content and delivery of a curriculum originally developed for 4-year college students. Data were collected from community college students, faculty, and staff from October 2009 to August 2011. Work included focus groups and key informant interviews, curriculum pilot testing, and social network and support website beta testing. Based on focus groups and interviews, program content, course delivery modes, and communication channels were adjusted to meet population interests and preferences. The course was delivered successfully in pilot testing, and the website was received well by beta testers. Formative work successfully guided program adaptations to address population needs.
