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 Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire and the Chronic Sleep Reduction Questionnaire.
Several sum scores on sleeping behaviours are available for use.
