Do you or a loved one suffer from Sleep Apnea?  Take the Epworth Sleepiness Test and find out.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale

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 of situations:

0	=	no chance of dozing
1	=	slight chance of dozing
2	=	moderate chance of dozing
3	=	high chance of dozing

Situation	Chance of dozing
Sitting and reading
Sitting inactive in a public place (a theater or a meeting)
Watching T.V.
As a passenger in a car for an hour
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit
Sitting and talking to someone
Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol
In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic
