Sleep Self-Assessment

Epworth Sleepiness Scale

How likely are you to doze off during everyday activities? This quick self-assessment helps measure daytime sleepiness, a common clue that your airway may be working too hard at night.

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.

Choose the most appropriate number for each situation. Your score totals automatically below.

0 Would never doze
1 Slight chance of dozing
2 Moderate chance of dozing
3 High chance of dozing
0OUT OF 24

Select an answer for each situation

A score around 4 is considered normal. A score of 9 or higher suggests a sleep study is highly recommended.

This screening is for general education and isn’t a diagnosis. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was developed by Dr. Murray Johns. If your score is elevated, or you’re simply not sleeping well, book a consultation and we’ll help you find the source.
