Epworth Sleep Evaluation

The Epworth Sleep Evaluation is a common tool in sleep medicine used to gauge how sleepy a patient feels. It consists of eight different scenarios, and in each one, you rate how likely you are to fall asleep on a scale from 0 (indicating no chance of dozing) to 3 (indicating a high likelihood of dozing). Once you complete the questionnaire, you add up your scores to obtain a total ranging from 0 to 24. This overall score helps determine if your level of sleepiness might be excessive and potentially in need of medical evaluation.
