EPWORTH SLEEPINESS SCALE
Your physician has asked that you complete the following Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Your
answers to the questions below will be used to measure how sleepy you are generally,
and will be used by your physician as an aid in determining your diagnosis and treatment.
How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the certain situations, in contrast to
just feeling tired?
This refers to your usual way of life in recent times. If you have not done some of these
things recently, think about how they have affected you in the past.
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
It is important that you answer each question as best you can.
