Abstract	Chronic sleepiness is a common symptom in the sleep disorders, such as, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Periodic leg movement disorder, narcolepsy, etc. It affects 8% of the adult population and is associated with significant morbidity and increased risk to individual and society. MSLT and MWT are the existing tests for measuring sleepiness. Sleep Latency (SL) is the main measures of sleepiness computed in these tests. These are the laboratory-based tests and require services of an expert sleep technician. There are no tests available to detect inadvertent sleep onset in real time and which can be performed in any professional work environment to measure sleepiness level. In this article, we propose a fully automated, objective sleepiness analysis technique based on the single channel of EEG. The method uses a one-dimensional slice of the EEG Bispectrum representing a nonlinear transformation of the underlying EEG generator to compute a novel index called Sleepiness Index. The SL is then computed from the SI. Working on the patient’s database of 42 subjects we computed SI and estimated SL. A strong significant correlation (r ≥ 0.70, s < 0.001) was found between technician scored SL and that computed via SI. The proposed technology holds promise in the automation of the MSLT and MWT tests. It can also be developed into a sleep management system, wherein the SI is incorporated into a sleepiness index alert unit to alarm the user when sleepiness level crosses the predetermined threshold.
