Background Although the words “fatigue” and “sleepiness” are often used interchangeably,
they are distinct phenomena. Sleepiness refers to a tendency to fall asleep, whereas fatigue
refers to an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, and a feeling of exhaustion
associated with impaired physical and/or cognitive functioning. 1 Sleepiness and fatigue
