Abstract

Consisting of 30 questions related to the effects of fatigue on daily activities, the instrument was designed to evaluate the respondent’s quality of life as it relates to disorders of excessive sleepiness. Five domains of day-to-day life are examined: activity levels, vigilance, intimacy and sexual relationships, productivity, and social outcomes. The questionnaire is indicated for both research and clinical purposes (screening, assessing treatment outcomes, etc.). Recently, Chasens and colleagues [1] created a shorter, 10-item version of the scale in order to allow for rapid and efficient administration.
