Below you will find an Epworth Sleep Apnea Self-Test. It is a simple, fast, and accurate way to confirm if you should talk to us about your sleep habits, possible sleep apnea, or overall health. The Epworth Sleep Apnea test was introduced by Dr. Murray Johns in 1991, and has been validated and in use in obstructive sleep apnea treatment ever since. It is a simple way to start understanding your daytime sleepiness.

1. While sitting and reading...
2. Watching television...
3. Sitting, inactive in a public place...
4. As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break...
5. Lying down to rest in the afternoon...
6. Sitting and talking with someone...
7. Sitting quietly after lunch without alcohol...
8. In a car, while stopped at a light...
