Abstract: Self-administered general condition questionnaire, Chinese version of epworth sleepiness scale, Chinese version of sleep quality index scale, college students’ depression situation assessment scale, and college students’ anxiety assessment scale were applied to 7205 survey respondents to find out about the excessive daytime sleepiness among college students majoring in physical education and thus to spot its causing factors. The results showed that 756 of them were found to have excessive daytime sleepiness, with a screening rate of 10.49%; the screening rate of anxiety, depression and low sleep quality problems was significantly higher than that for the group without excessive daytime sleepiness. History of alcohol consumption, history of counseling, poor sleep quality index, depression, anxiety, and psychotropic medication were risk elements for excessive daytime sleepiness among college PE majors. Therefore, the high screening rate for excessive daytime sleepiness symptoms among college PE majors and the fact that excessive daytime sleepiness is associated with multiple risk factors cry for the initiation of targeted interventions.
