Subjective sleepiness correlates negatively with global alpha (8-12 Hz) and positively with central frontal theta (4-8 Hz) frequencies in the human resting awake electroencephalogram.

Summary
The notion that sleepiness is directly represented in the awake EEG is supported, with strong negative correlations of alpha (8-12 Hz) power with subjective sleepiness at all scalp locations, suggesting a negative association between sleepiness and general cortical activation.
