Epworth Sleepiness Scale

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a simple questionnaire used by healthcare providers to assess how likely you are to feel unusually sleepy during the day. It asks you to rate your chances of dozing off in different situations, like sitting quietly or watching TV. Your scores help doctors determine if you might have a sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. The scale provides a straightforward way to understand your level of daytime sleepiness, guiding further evaluation or treatment options to improve your sleep quality and alertness.
