Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a major health concern in geriatric patients. EDS affects quality of life, daytime function, and mortality. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a standard tool for the assessment daytime sleepiness, but the feasibility of the ESS has never been investigated in elderly subjects. We applied the ESS to a random sample of geriatric in-hospital patients. The a...
