The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) measures daytime sleepiness in adults. This paper reports the following data in 616 medical students: 1-ESS scores, 2-its correlation with the declared night sleep time, 3-comparison with ESS values obtained from Australia, 4-comparison of ESS values in a sub-population of 111 students tested early and late 1995. There were 387 males, 185 females and 4 not specified. Age = 20.16 +/- 2.23 (SD), ESS score = 10.00 +/- 3.69 (SD), declared sleep time = 7.04 +/- 1.03 (SD). ESS scores did not statistically correlate with sleep time. Average ESS score was statistically higher than in the Australian sample. Retesting of the medical students showed an increase in ESS values from March to November 1995. Sleep time difference was non-significant. Higher ESS scores in this sample seem to be related to shorter sleep time, but fatigue effects can not be ruled out.
Epworth嗜睡量表（ESS）用于测量成年人的日间嗜睡情况。本文报告了616名医学生的以下数据：1-ESS得分，2-其与宣称的夜间睡眠时间的相关性，3-与从澳大利亚获得的ESS值的比较，4-对1995年年初和年末测试的111名学生亚组的ESS值的比较。其中有387名男性，185名女性，4名未标明性别。年龄=20.16±2.23（标准差），ESS得分=10.00±3.69（标准差），宣称的睡眠时间=7.04±1.03（标准差）。ESS得分与睡眠时间无统计学相关性。平均ESS得分在统计学上高于澳大利亚样本。对医学生的重新测试显示，1995年3月至11月ESS值有所增加。睡眠时间差异不显著。该样本中较高的ESS得分似乎与较短的睡眠时间有关，但不能排除疲劳影响。
