Sleep quizzes and self tests

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is used to determine your level of daytime sleepiness. A self-test questionnaire(external link) developed by MW Johns 1990-1997 is scored as follows:

• A score of 10 or more is considered sleepy.
• A score of 18 or more is very sleepy.

If you score 10 or more on this test, you should consider whether you are obtaining adequate sleep, need to improve your sleep hygiene and/or need to see a sleep specialist.
