In spite of the evidence linking pain and sleep, patients seeking relief from chronic pain, craniofacial pain, and headaches have historically been treated independently from those seeking care for sleep disturbances, SRBDs, and fatigue.  This study investigated the relationship between craniofacial pain symptoms and daytime sleepiness, determined by the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), to correlate comorbidity as well as potentional predictive factors.
