Sleep Quiz - Epworth Sleepiness Scale


For this sleep quiz or sleep test we are using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale , a questionnaire intended to measure daytime sleepiness. This can be helpful in diagnosing any sleep disorder.


Sleep Quiz


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:

0 = no chance of dozing
1 = slight chance of dozing
2 = moderate chance of dozing
3 = high chance of dozing


Here is the Situation - Chance Of Dozing:

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

To check your sleepiness score, total the points:

1 - 6: Congratulations, you are getting enough sleep!
7 - 8: Your score is average
9 and up: Seek the advice of a sleep specialist without delay


History of the Sleepiness Scale


Our sleep quiz or sleep test, which is the Epworth Sleepiness Scale was developed by Dr. Murray Johns of the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. This test has been helpful in diagnosing many sleep disorders.
