A simple self test, commonly used as an indicator of poor sleep, is the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. This scoring system is used to determine a person’s level of daytime sleepiness. 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. These issues should be discussed with your personal physician. Taking this test and the results provided in no way substitutes for a medical assessment or diagnostic procedure, but serves as a useful guide to help focus future consultations. Begin the evaluation by answering the first question below: Are you the snorer or is it your bed partner who snores?
