Note** This is not intended for use as a means of self diagnosis, but rather as a tool for you to use to assess your level of daytime sleepiness which could be a symptom of a sleep disorder.

How likely you would be to fall asleep (actually fall asleep, not just feel tired) in the following situations?
Sitting and reading
Watching television
Sitting inactive in a public place such as a theater or a meeting
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break
Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit
Sitting and talking to someone
Sitting quietly after lunch (when you've had no alcohol)

**Total Score:

A score greater than "10" indicates a definite concern as it shows significant excessive daytime sleepiness. A visit to a sleep specialist to determine the cause of the excessive daytime sleepiness and to treat it is the recommended course of action.
