Sleepiness (ESS)
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a scale intended to measure daytime sleepiness by use of a very short questionnaire (section: Lifestyle & environment). This can be helpful in diagnosing sleep disorders.
Lifelines used the ESS to assess sleepiness in adults during follow-up questionnaire 1C.
Note that in Lifelines, sleep is also assessed with some general questions as well as with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire, the Composite Score of Morningness and the Chronic Sleep Reduction Questionnaire.
Several sum scores on sleeping behaviours are available for use.
