	Would never doze	Slight chance of dozing	Moderate chance of dozing	High chance of dozing
Sitting and reading
Watching TV
Sitting inactive in a public place (eg. theatre or a meeting)
As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break

What your score indicates

Less than 10 – You are probably getting enough sleep

A score below 10 means you are in the normal range but does not exclude a sleep disorder. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns about your sleep routine.

More than 10 – You are overly sleepy during the day

You should speak to your doctor about possible causes of your excessive daytime tiredness. Find out more about sleep apnoea and a simple test you can take.
