Also, Epworth Sleepiness Scale which is a survey that determines the degree of sleepiness in eight different situations during the day was administered to all volunteers. Atypical antipsychotic drug usage at therapeutic doses significantly increased patients’ daytime sleepiness compared to the control group. Among the atypical antipsychotic drugs usage in therapeutic dose, the drug that caused the most daytime sleepiness was clozapine.
