Drowsy driving is a major cause of many traffic accidents. The aim of this work is to develop an automatic drowsiness detection system using an efficient k-nearest neighbors (K-NN) algorithm. First, the distribution of power in time-frequency space was obtained using short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and then, the mean value of power during time-segments of 0.5 second was calculated for each EEG subband. In addition, standard deviation (SD) and Shanon entropy related to each time-segment were computed from time-domain. Finally, 52 features were extracted. Random forest algorithm was applied over the extracted data, aiming to choose the most informative subset of features. A total of 11 features were selected in order to classify drowsiness and alertness. Kd-trees was used as the nearest neighbors search algorithm so as to have a fast classifier. Our experimental results show that drowsiness can be classified efficiently with 91% accuracy using the methods and materials proposed in this paper.

Accurate monitoring of drowsy driving through electroencephalography (EEG) can effectively reduce traffic accidents. Developing a calibration-free drowsiness detection system with single-channel EEG alone is very challenging due to the non-stationarity of EEG signals, the heterogeneity among different individuals, and the relatively parsimonious compared to multi-channel EEG. Although deep learning-based approaches can effectively decode EEG signals, most deep learning models lack interpretability due to their black-box nature.

When self-regulatory resources are depleted, people tend to act more on "autopilot", with minimal forethought. It follows that when sleepy, people should be more likely to act habitually, based on learned cue-behaviour associations that trigger behaviour automatically when the cue is encountered. This ecological momentary assessment study investigated whether, over the course of a week, between-person differences and momentary within-person variation in daytime sleepiness were associated with the reported habit strength of behaviours.

Background: The prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with heart failure (HF) is a significant concern, leading to adverse outcomes. This network meta-analysis (NMA) is dedicated to evaluate the relative effectiveness of diverse therapeutic approaches for SDB treatments in the context of HF.
Methods: An extensive search up to May 19, 2023, was implemented in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Factors associated with poor sleep in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Article Synopsis
- The study wanted to learn about how sleep is affected in kids with a tough type of epilepsy called drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
- They compared the sleep quality of kids with well-controlled epilepsy (WCE) to those with DRE, finding that DRE kids had worse sleep.
- Factors like certain brain waves and medications were linked to poorer sleep, and the researchers hope this information can help improve sleep and health for these children.

Study Objectives: To collect prodromal symptoms experienced by participants with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia (considered "hypersomnolence experts") prior to drowsy driving and counterstrategies used to maintain alertness.
Methods: Systematic, face-to-face interview (using a semi-structured questionnaire), including clinical measures, frequency of car accidents/near misses, and symptoms experienced before impending drowsy driving episodes and counterstrategies.
Results: Among 61 participants (32 with narcolepsy, 29 with idiopathic hypersomnia; 56 drivers), 61% of drivers had at least one lifetime accident/near miss.
