Snoring Isn't Sexy Sleepiness Survey Results
This Scale is NOT a diagnostic test and should NOT be used as a substitute for a medical evaluation. Results are variable and are used by this survey simply to indicate the extent of the problem of excessive daytime sleepiness. "Normal" results should not be used as a certification of your health.
The Epworth sleepiness scale has been validated primarily in obstructive sleep apnea.
Johns MW (1991). "A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale". Sleep 14 (6): 540 - 5.
