As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break

Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit

Sitting and talking to someone

Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol

In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic

TOTAL:

A total score of nine or above indicates that you suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness and should see a sleep specialist.
