Sleepiness, remedies

Under some conditions, feelings of sleepiness may be great and protocols that must be run when subjects are extremely sleepy encounter the problem of floor effects. For example, physiological sleepiness may be so great because of a drag effect that sleep latencies are too short to be above statistical noise. In these circumstances, it is difficult to detect subjects with abnormal sleepiness or to detect the effect of any remedial intervention.
