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.

Excessive daytime sleepiness is the core symptom of central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDH) and can directly impair driving performance. Sleepiness is reflected in relative alterations in distal and proximal skin temperature. Therefore, we examined the predictive value of skin temperature on driving performance.

Study Objectives: Sleepiness is a well-known risk factor for traffic accidents. Our study presents a new questionnaire, the Bordeaux Sleepiness Scale (BOSS), specifically designed to evaluate sleep-related driving risk in patients with sleep disorders.
Methods: The BOSS was designed by gathering data on sociodemographics, sleepiness, driving items, and traffic accident exposure (kilometers driven) in the past year of 293 patients followed for sleep disorders at a French sleep clinic.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of solriamfetol, a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, on on-the-road driving performance in participants with narcolepsy.
Methods: In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, driving performance during a 1 h on-road driving test was assessed at 2 and 6 h post-dose following 7 days of treatment with solriamfetol (150 mg/day for 3 days, followed by 300 mg/day for 4 days) or placebo. The primary endpoint was standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) at 2 h post-dose.

Introduction: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness is a core symptom of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, which impairs driving performance. Adequate treatment improves daytime alertness, but it is unclear whether driving performance completely normalizes. This study compares driving performance of patients with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia receiving treatment to that of healthy controls.
