Sleep Test
Answer the following questions to determine if you need further sleep testing:
- Do you suffer from daytime sleepiness even after 8 hours of sleep?
- Do you snore loudly?
- Do you stop breathing or gasp for breath while sleeping?
- Do you awaken from sleep feeling as if you are choking?
- Do you have high blood pressure?
- Do you get morning headaches?
- Do you seem to have lost your sex drive?
- Do you kick or move your legs during sleep?
- Do you awaken and have difficulty falling back to sleep?
- Do you act out your dreams?
- Have you fallen asleep while driving?
- Do you have trouble at work or school because of sleepiness?
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions, you may have a sleep-related problem.
Discuss symptoms with your physician to learn more about sleep disorders and find out if you should participate in a sleep study.
