Epworth Scale

The Epworth Scale is an eight-question assessment of daytime sleepiness in which the respondent rates how likely one is to fall asleep in a variety of situations. Scores less than 10 are normal, and scores higher than 10 may suggest the need for additional evaluation by a sleep specialist. The total score can range from 0-24, and higher scores are correlated with increased sleepiness. The average score amongst healthy adults is six. In general, scores higher than ten indicate excessive sleepiness.
