The Epworth sleepiness scale is a commonly used tool for measuring daytime sleepiness. The scale asks individuals to rate their likelihood of dozing off in different situations, such as sitting and reading, watching tv, or driving a car. The scores are then used to determine the severity of a person's sleepiness. A score of 10 or higher indicates excessive daytime sleepiness and a potential sleep disorder. The epworth sleepiness scale is a quick and easy tool that clinical sleep educators often use to help diagnose sleep problems.
