Epworth Sleepiness Scale - Description

Hello friends, today we are giving Epworth Sleepiness Scale PDF to assist all of you. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale helps you manage your sleep cycle. The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), has been defined. This is a simple, self-administered questionnaire that has been shown to provide a measure of a subject’s normal level of sleepiness during the day.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is widely used in the field of sleep medicine as a subjective measure of a patient’s sleep. The test is a list of eight situations in which you rate your propensity to sleep on a scale from 0 (no probability of a dozen) to 3 (high probability of a dozen).

Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) PDF – How Sleepy Are You?

How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? You should rate your chances of dozing off, not just feeling tired. Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to determine how they would have affected you. For each situation, decide whether or not you would have:
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
You must answer each question as best you can.

Situation	Chance of dozing (0 = low, 3 = high)
Sitting and reading	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
Watching TV	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
Sitting still in a public place (e.g. a theatre, a cinema, or a meeting)	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when the circumstances allow	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
Sitting and talking to someone	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
Sitting quietly after lunch without having drunk alcohol	Chance:0 (would never doze)1 (slight chance)2 (moderate chance)3 (high chance)
