Epworth Sleepiness Scale
In contrast to just feeling tired, how likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? (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:
Sitting and Reading

Watching Television

Sitting inactive in a public place (i.e. theater)

As a car passenger for an hour without a break

Lying down to rest in the afternoon
