Comprehensive Sleep Assessment With The Swiss Narcolepsy Scale: Objectively Evaluating Sleepiness And Wakefulness
The Swiss Narcolepsy Scale (SNS) is a comprehensive tool for assessing sleepiness and wakefulness. It includes the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, which measures daytime sleepiness levels; the Multiple Sleep Latency Test, which determines how quickly an individual falls asleep throughout the day; the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, which measures an individual’s ability to stay awake after a full night’s sleep; and the Sleep Onset Latency Test, which determines the time it takes an individual to fall asleep at night. Together, these tests provide a comprehensive assessment of sleepiness and wakefulness, which is crucial for accurately diagnosing narcolepsy and other sleep disorders.
