Now calculate all your scores. A score of 9 or above means that you may be having a problem with daytime sleepiness. A score below 9 does not necessarily indicate that you don't have a problem. Make an appointment with your healthcare professional for advice if you snore, have been told that you awake gasping for breath or if you are sleepy during the day.
