Even if you have never actually been in these situations, please imagine what would happen if you were in them and answer accordingly.
What is the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)?
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a method for measuring the presence and severity of excessive daytime sleepiness. It asks 8 questions about the likelihood of falling asleep in daily situations such as sitting and reading or watching TV, with scores ranging from 0 (never) to 3 (very high likelihood). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is commonly used as a diagnostic aid for sleep disorders because it can easily assess daytime sleepiness.
Those with High Scores May Have Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Among the diseases that cause napping is 'Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS)'.Sleep Apnea Syndrome is a popular cause of strong daytime sleepiness. Even if you are not aware of apnea episodes, those who snore loudly, experience headaches upon waking, or have a dry throat and want water may have Sleep Apnea Syndrome and need to visit a clinic early.
