If you suspect you may have a sleep condition, take the following sleep quiz to find out if poor sleep may be affecting your life. This quiz is just a guide to help you determine whether medical treatment may be necessary. A more detailed questionnaire will be provided, if you are referred to a sleep center.
Answer "yes" or "no" to each of the following questions:
__ Do you frequently feel sleepy during the day no matter how much sleep you get?
__ Do you fall asleep at inappropriate times such as in meetings or at traffic lights?
__ Do you snore? Do you snore 3 or more times a week?
__ Has someone told you that you snore loudly?
__ Has someone told you that you gasp or seem to stop breathing while you are asleep?
__ Do you often have a headache when you wake up in the morning?
__ Do you take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep?
__ Do you wake up and have trouble going back to sleep?
__ Do you feel like you dream all night?
__ Do your legs and arms jerk all night?
__ Do you have a sudden loss of muscle tone with any emotional stimulus such as laughter or anger?
