N2  - The two nap sleep test (TNST) was developed and its usefulness for detecting sleepiness in long-distance drivers has been reported. This study's authors attempted to apply the TNST as a clinical test of sleepiness. A normal control group (n = 29), an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) group (n = 9), and another sleep disorder group (n = 6) participated. As a result of polysomnography, the sleep latency and sleep time did not differ among the groups. In contrast, the frequency of micro-arousal and movement arousal was significantly higher in the OSAS group than in the other groups. The TNST is thought to be useful for evaluating disturbance of sleep maintenance.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
