The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is used to objectively evaluate an individual's ability to remain awake; however, microsleeps are not included in the assessment. We aimed to determine if microsleep data prior to sleep onset assisted in interpretation of ability to maintain wakefulness across a range of typical patient groups.
