La causa más común de somnolencia es la privación de sueño. Su medición es compleja debido a sus diferentes conceptos operacionales. Los instrumentos más utilizados son los cuestionarios de auto-evaluación que miden la somnolencia subjetiva. La somnolencia excesiva tiene un impacto en la salud mental y física de la persona que lo sufre, por lo que es de suma importancia que el personal de salud pueda evaluar esta condición y determinar la causa; o derivarlos al especialista en trastornos del sueño si el caso es complejo.Colegio Médico del Perú2010-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/1444ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol 27 No 2 (2010); 137-143ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2010); 137-1431728-59171018-8800reponame:Acta Médica Peruanainstname:Colegio Médico del Perúinstacron:CMPspahttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/1444/893Copyright (c) 2020 ACTA MEDICA PERUANAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/14442023-07-06T06:00:37Z
