Commonly asked questions

A normal Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score typically ranges from 0 to 10, indicating minimal to moderate daytime sleepiness.

A total score greater than 10 suggests significant daytime sleepiness, warranting further evaluation for potential sleep disorders.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is graded based on total scores: 0-5 indicates lower daytime sleepiness, 6-10 suggests moderate sleepiness, and scores above 10 indicate excessive daytime sleepiness.
