title: [Insufficient sleep syndrome and QOL].
abstract: Sleepiness, the mood state, and quality of life (QOL) were compared in patients with insufficient sleep syndrome (ISS), between before and after treatment. Concerning the profile of mood states(POMS), the score of the V scale for "vigor" was significantly low, and the score of the C scale for "confusion" was significantly high. The primary treatment was life guidance. After treatment, the sleep time was significantly prolonged due primarily to going to bed earlier, and while the score on the Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) decreased significantly. The scores of the V and C scales of the POMS were significantly improved after treatment but were still lower than in the control group. On the QOL26, significant improvements were observed in all items after treatment.
