Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) can cause life-threatening accidents, reduced work efficiency, and impairments in psychosocial functions. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between carbon monoxide (CO) levels in the expiratory air and EDS in individuals aged 18–45 years. Methods A total of 280 patients who met the eligibility criteria were included in the study. The main dependent variable was daytime sleepiness, and the main independent variable was the level of CO in the expiratory air. Results The results indicated that being a woman, being a student, living alone at home, being exposed to cigarette smoke in the home environment, and having high CO levels in the expiratory air increased the risk of EDS. Discussion This study shows that high CO levels in breath increase the risk of EDS. Addressing smoking and related risk factors is crucial for public health, reducing accidents and functional impairments in daily life..

期刊介绍： The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted. The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
