Epworth Sleepiness Scale
A validated screening tool used by doctors worldwide to measure daytime sleepiness.
This is a self-assessment tool, not a medical diagnosis. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

2.Watching TV
3.Sitting inactive in a public place (e.g., a theater or meeting)
4.As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break
5.Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit
6.Sitting and talking to someone
7.Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol
8.In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic
