Epworth Sleepiness Scale

How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to just feeling tired? This questionnaire refers to your chance of falling asleep, according to your usual way of life, for about the last week or two. Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to estimate how they would have affected you during the last two weeks.

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

Scale:
0 = No chance of dozing
1 = Slight chance of dozing
2 = Moderate chance of dozing
3 = High chance of dozing
