TL;DR: Clinical and laboratory evaluation of sleepiness in children, including the use of polysomnography, the multiple sleep latency test, and other varieties of neurophysiologic testing are examined.

TL;DR: In an attempt to explain excessive daytime sleepiness among patients evaluated for sleep-disordered breathing, additional insight is provided by observation of supine sleep during polysomnography, by emphasis on apneas rather than hypopneas, by focus on obstructive rather than central events, and by consideration of the minimum oxygen saturation.

TL;DR: Positional therapy to avoid supine positioning modestly reduces sleep apnea severity after ischemic stroke, and may therefore improve outcomes.

TL;DR: It is argued that the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) not only costs about 1000 times less than the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) but also serves as a superior gold standard measure of excessive daytime sleepiness (Johns, 2000).

TL;DR: This study showed a low risk of post-adenotonsillectomy complications in school-aged healthy children with obstructive apnea although many children met published criteria for admission due to obesity, or polysomnographic severity.
