Epworth Sleepiness Scale

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale assesses your level of daytime sleepiness and can determine if a meeting with a sleep specialist is warranted.

The questionnaire asks you to grade the probability of falling asleep (on a scale of 0 to 3) during 8 routine activities.

Tallying up these scores gives you your level of daytime sleepiness.

	No chance of dozing	Slight chance of dozing	Moderate chance of dozing	High chance of dozing
Sitting and reading
Watching TV
Sitting inactive in a public place (e.g a theatre or a meeting)
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit
Sitting and talking to someone
Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break
In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic

Please select one option for each question
