Sleep Apnea Quiz

How well do you sleep? A person's level of daytime drowsiness can be an indication of how well they sleep at night. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is used by physicians as a screening tool to assist patients with understanding their own sleep health and as an aid to identify patients that may be suffering from sleep apnea.
