Sleep Quality Assessment

Test the Quality of Your Sleep

The following simple test is designed to determine the quality of your sleep and alert you to any problems which may result from sleep disorders. If you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, note the number of each statement that applies to you. A scoring guide is provided after the final question.

I’ve been told that I snore loudly.
I’ve been told that I stop breathing or gasp for breath while I sleep, although I don’t remember this when I wake up.
I have high blood pressure.
My friends and family say they have noticed changes in my personality.
I am gaining weight.
I sweat excessively during the night.
I have noticed my heart pounding or beating irregularly during the night.
I get morning headaches.
I seem to be losing my sex drive.
No matter how hard I try to stay awake, I still fall asleep-even after a full night’s sleep.
When I experience strong emotions such as anger, fear, or surprise I go limp.
I have fallen asleep while driving – even after a full night’s sleep.

Even though I slept through the night, I still feel sleepy during the day.
Other than when exercising, I still experience muscle tension, aching or crawling sensations in my leg.
I‘ve been told that I kick at night.
I experience leg pain during the night.
Sometimes I can’t keep my legs still at night. I just have to move them.
I awaken with sore or aching muscles.
Thoughts race through my mind and this prevents me from sleeping.
I wake up during the night and can’t go back to sleep.
I worry about things and have trouble relaxing.

Questions 1-10: These symptoms describe people with sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening disorder which causes you to stop breathing during your sleep.

Questions 11-17: These symptoms are experienced by people with narcolepsy, a lifelong disorder characterized by uncontrollable sleep attacks during the day.

Questions 18-23: These are symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, a disorder caused when stomach acid “backs up” into the throat during the night.

Questions 24-28: These symptoms describe nocturnal myoclonus or restless legs syndrome, a disorder characterized by pain or “crawling” sensations in the legs.

Questions 29-34: These symptoms are experienced by people with insomnia, a persistent inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

Remember that the test you have just completed describes symptoms that are similar to those of individuals with sleep disorders. It is intended as a general source of educational information and should not be used for diagnosis or treatment.
