Greetings all! Can anyone tell me what an Epworth sleepiness score is? Also, how important it might be. Hope someone's heard of it. Cheers!

The Epworth Sleepiness Score is a somewhat crude determination of how easily you fall asleep during the day based on questions asked of you and how you score them from 0 to 3. Here is a link to one of the tests to determine this score.

Thanks for the info! It makes sense now, as my report had Epworth Score:- 4 but I didn't know what it meant.
