Epworth Test

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (below) was developed by researchers in
Australia and is widely used by sleep professionals around the world to measure
sleep deprivation.

Answer these questions with regards to your usual way of life in recent
times. Note that if you have not done some of these things recently, think about how they
have affected you in the past.

How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in
contrast to feeling just tired?

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

0 = no chance of dozing

1 = slight chance of dozing

2 = moderate chance of dozing

3 = high chance of dozing

SITUATION	CHANCE OF DOZING
Sitting and reading	0123
Watching TV	0123
Sitting inactive in a public place (e.g., a theater or a meeting)	0123
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break	0123
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit	0123
Sitting and talking to someone	0123
Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol	0123
In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic	0123
