How to interpret your score

A score of 10 or more points may indicate excessive or inappropriate sleepiness. This can be a symptom of serious sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy. If you have a high score, or you are worried about your sleepiness, please make an appointment.

You may also want to have your spouse or partner fill out the form for you, as a double-check. In some cases, a person may not realize they are nodding off or dozing but this is noticed by the spouse or partner.
If the Compute Score button does not work in your browser: Each "Never" answer is worth 0 points, "Slight" is 1 point, "Moderate" is 2 points and "High" is 3 points. Simply add up your total points to find your score.
