Signs and Symptoms
Several symptoms are associated with the sopite syndrome. Typical responses include:
- drowsiness
- yawning
- disinclination for work
- lack of social participation
- mood changes
- apathy
- sleep disturbances
- other fatigue-related symptoms
The sopite syndrome is distinguished from other manifestations of motion sickness (i.e. nausea, dizziness, etc.) in that it may occur before other symptoms of motion sickness or in their absence. The sopite syndrome may persist even after an individual has adapted to the other symptoms associated with motion-induced sickness.
