# Epworth Sleepiness Test

All information you enter here is private.

The test, phrasing and text below is The Epworth Sleepiness Scale by M.W. Johns.

If the test says that you might want to check with your doctor, please do. I could have eliminated decades of waking up feeling hungover and exhausted if I had known about this earlier.

This test runs entirely in your browser and none of your information ever leaves your computer.

Instructions:

How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to feeling just tired?

This refers to your usual way of life in recent times.

Even if you haven’t done some of these things recently try to work out how they would have affected you.

Sitting and reading |
