In contrast to just feeling tired, how likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? (Even if you have not done some of these things recently, try to work out how they would have affected you.) Use the following sleep test scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation:
0 = Would never doze
1 = Slight chance of dozing
2 = Moderate chance of dozing
3 = High chance of dozing

Sleepy pilots are being more closely scrutinized by the Federal Aviation Administration. One such recommendation is that overweight pilots be screened for sleep apnea. Both true and near-miss plane crashes have been blamed on fatigued pilots.
