Epworth Sleepiness Scale

How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to feeling just 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 2 = moderate chance of dozing
  1 = slight chance of dozing 3 = high chance of dozing

Situation
Chance of Dozing
Sitting and reading  
Watching TV  
Sitting inactive in a public place (e.g a theater or a meeting)  
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break  
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit  
Sitting and talking to someone  
Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol  
In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic  

To check your sleepiness score, total the points:

  • 1 - 6: Congratulations, you are getting enough sleep!
  • 7 - 8: Your score is average
  • 9 and up: Seek the advice of a sleep specialist without delay
