  • THE EPWORTH SLEEPINESS SCALE

  •  / /
    Pick a Date
  • 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 have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you. Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation:

    0 – Would never doze

    1 – Slight chance of dozing

    2 – Moderate chance of dozing

    3 – High chance of dozing

  • Situation

  • Sleepiness and Driving

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is the result of many different problems and it can cause impaired human performance. We feel obligated to inform you about EDS because of its potential for increased accidents and injuries.

    Driving while you are sleepy is dangerous. There are 100,000 – 200,000 automobile accidents in the US each year due to sleepiness and fatigue. These crashes cost the US economy $12.5 billion, injure 71,000 individuals, and kill 1,500 people each year in the US alone. Sleep problems and EDS lead to 4 – 7 times the normal risk of having an auto or truck accident. Obviously, it is dangerous to be sleepy in any situation that requires complete alertness.

    We recommend that you drive only when fully alert. If you become drowsy while driving, you should pull off the road safely and stop driving. Return to driving only when you are clearly awake. Some people find that a brief nap, a brisk walk, or a cup of coffee will help them become more alert.

    There are significant legal and social obligations associated with the safe operation of your motor vehicle. You need to inform us is you are unable to follow our recommendations regarding driving and sleepiness.
