Epworth Sleep Test ~ Self Diagnostic 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. 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 in recent times. 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:
