The Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Question
How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast
to just feeling tired? This refers to your usual way of life in recent times. Even if
you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would
have affected you.

Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation:

• 0 = no chance of dozing
• 1 = slight chance of dozing
• 2 = moderate chance of dozing
• 3 = high chance of dozing
