[QUOTE="ratski, post: 3071543, member: 936"] For those who might be interested. Below is a short screening examination for what is known as Excessive Daytime Sleepiness. The scoring is at the end of the exam. When you answer the questions, don't overthink the question. Don't say, well sometimes, but not really. That isn't what it is asking. A score of 10 or more is usually enough to qualify for getting a sleep study. How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to feeling just tired? This refers to your usual way of life. Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you. Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation: 0 = WOULD NEVER DOZE 1 = SLIGHT CHANCE OF DOZING 2 = MODERATE CHANCE OF DOZING 3 = HIGH CHANCE OF DOZING [B][U]SITUATION[/U][/B] Sitting and reading ___________ Watching TV ___________ Sitting and talking with someone ___________ Sitting, inactive in a public place (for example, a theater or a meeting) ___________ As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break ___________ Lying down to rest in the afternoon When circumstances permit ___________ Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol ___________ In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic ___________ [B] [/B] Total: If you scored 0 to 7 indicates that it is unlikely that the patient is abnormally sleepy. 8 to 9 indicates that the patient has an average amount of daytime sleepiness. 10 to 15 indicates that the patient may be excessively sleepy depending on the situation. The patient may want to consider seeking medical attention. 16 to 24 indicates that the patient is excessively sleepy and should consider seeking medical attention. [/QUOTE]
