Predictors for Development of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Women: A Population-Based 10-Year Follow-Up

Conclusion:Insomnia, anxiety and/or depression, and smoking were the most important factors for predicting incident excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and, in addition, somatic disease, obesity, and snoring predicted EDS. It is important not only to treat these conditions but also to inform women of the importance of a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent and reduce EDS in women.Citation:Theorell-Haglöw J, Åkerstedt T, Schwarz J, Lindberg E.
