Epworth Sleepiness Scale

In contrast to just feeling tired, how likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? (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:

1 Sitting and Reading

2 Watching Television

3 Sitting inactive in a public place (i.e. theater)

4 As a car passenger for an hour without a break

5 Lying down to rest in the afternoon

6 Sitting and talking to someone

7 In a car, while stopping for a few minutes in traffic

8 Sitting quietly after lunch without alcohol
