The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was created by Dr. Murray Johns in 1991 and has since become a standard diagnostic tool for measuring Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in patients. Your score today will be rated using information from here.

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 haven’t 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

It is important that you answer each question as best you can.
