Do I have SDB? The Epworth Sleepiness Scale

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was developed and validated by Dr. Murray Johns of Melbourne, Australia. It is a simple, self-administered questionnaire-widely used by sleep professionals in quantifying the level of daytime sleepiness.

*(Johns, M.W. "A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: The Epworth Sleepiness Scale."
Sleep 14 (1991): 540-545.

Complete the Quiz:

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 at present and in the recent past. 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 = would never doze
1 = slight chance of dozing
2 = moderate chance of dozing
3 = high chance of dozing

____ Situation Chance of Dozing
____ Sitting and reading            
____ Watching television            
____ Sitting, inactive in a public place (e.g. theatre, 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 lunch without alcohol            
____ In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic
