THE EPWORTH SLEEPINESS SCALE
Name: ______________________________________ Date: ___________________
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is widely used in the field of sleep medicine as a subjective
measure of a patient’s sleepiness. The test is a list of eight situations in which you rate your
tendency to become sleepy on a scale of 0, no chance of dozing, to 3, high chance of dozing.
When you finish the test, add up the values of your responses. Your total score is based on the
scale of 0 to 24. The scale estimates whether you are experiencing excessive sleepiness that
possibly requires medical attention.
How Sleepy Are You?
How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? You should rate your
chances of dozing off, not just feeling tired. Even if you have not done some of these things
recently, try to determine how they would have affected you. For each situation, decide whether
you would have:
0 = would never doze
1 = slight chance of dozing
2 = moderate chance of dozing
3 = high chance of dozing
