Sleep Quiz
CoxHealth Regional Sleep Disorders Center
Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
If you have a sleep problem that persists longer than four to six weeks,
you may need professional help. If you suspect a sleep disorder in yourself
or someone you know, start by taking this quiz:
- Are you sleepy during the day, even after your usual number of hours
of sleep?
- Has anyone complained of your loud snoring?
- Have you had a significant weight gain since age 18?
- Does your bed partner notice pauses in your breathing as you sleep?
- Have you ever had broken bones in the nose or mouth area?
- Have your health care providers described your tonsils as being enlarged?
- Are you aware of any throat or airway difficulties due to injury
or disease?
- Are you aware of having thyroid disease?
- Has your ability to concentrate decreased?
- Do you consistently have headaches upon awakening in the morning?
- Have people around you noticed that you are easily irritated lately?
- Are you currently taking any medication for high blood pressure?
- Does your bed partner complain that you seem restless while you sleep?
- Is your restlessness confined to your legs?
- As an adult, have you experienced any sleep walking, sleep talking
or other "sleep behavior?"
- Do you awaken often during the night?
- Does it usually take you longer than 20 minutes to fall asleep?
- Do you often awaken at a different time every morning?
- Have you been experiencing spells of weakness or irresistible sleepiness
during the day
If you answered YES to two or more questions, please show this analysis
to your health care provider and talk with him or her about your sleep
habits. You may benefit from a more in-depth sleep study at CoxHealth Regional
Sleep Disorders Center.
