Epworth 嗜睡量表 (ESS) 是一个简单的问卷，用于测量白天嗜睡的一般水平，这里称为平均睡眠倾向。这是衡量在各种情况下入睡的概率的指标。 ESS 的概念基础涉及睡眠和觉醒的四过程模型。任何特定时间的睡眠倾向是总睡眠驱动力与其竞争的总唤醒驱动力之比的函数。 ESS 评分显着区分原发性打鼾患者和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征 (OSAS) 患者，并且 ESS 评分随着 OSAS 严重程度的增加而增加。多元回归分析显示，在 OSAS 患者中，ESS 评分与呼吸暂停频率的相关性比与低氧血症程度的相关性更为密切。 ESS 分数可以有效衡量平均睡眠倾向，与全天测试（例如多次睡眠潜伏期测试）的结果相当。
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a simple questionnaire measuring the general level of daytime sleepiness, called here the average sleep propensity. This is a measure of the probability of falling asleep in a variety of situations. The conceptual basis of the ESS involves a four-process model of sleep and wakefulness. The sleep propensity at any particular time is a function of the ratio of the total sleep drive to the total wake drive with which it competes. ESS scores significantly distinguished patients with primary snoring from those with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and ESS scores increased with the severity of OSAS. Multiple regression analysis showed that ESS scores were more closely related to the frequency of apneas than to the degree of hypoxemia in OSAS. ESS scores give a useful measure of average sleep propensity, comparable to the results of all-day tests such as the multiple sleep latency test.
