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.
