Summary

This study looks at how reliable the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is for people who feel very sleepy during the day. Researchers will test 100 participants twice to see if the results are consistent. If the test proves reliable, it could help doctors decide who is safe to drive, addressing a major medical and legal concern.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may turn out to be unreliable, which would limit its use in medical and legal settings.
