  Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is observed in various pathological conditions associated with sleep disorders. However, objective methods for the assessment of EDS rely on complex electroencephalographic (EEG) recording and are impractical for use in general clinical practice. To address this issue, the Oxford Sleep Resistance Test (OSLER) has been developed for use in clinical practice overseas, though few studies have examined the reliability of the OSLER test for measuring sleep latency in Japanese patients. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to determine whether sleep latency measured via the OSLER test (SLOSLER) is consistent with that measured via EEG (SLEEG) in Japanese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Seventeen Japanese men with OSA (mean age: 51.5 ± 9.8 years) underwent simultaneous OSLER and EEG testing a total of four times on the day following poly.. View More»
