Excessive daytime sleepiness in general hospital nurses: prevalence, correlates, and its association with adverse events.

CONCLUSIONS: EDS was common among this relatively young and healthy nurse population in south China. There were clear associations between EDS and depression, anxiety, insomnia, rotating shift work, and low work-related interest. Furthermore, EDS was an independent risk factor in the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) in our subjects.
