The document describes the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, a questionnaire used to assess a person's daytime sleepiness. It lists 8 common situations and asks respondents to rate their likelihood of dozing off in each on a scale of 0 to 3, considering how they felt over the past week. The scores are then added up to determine overall level of daytime sleepiness.
