Sleep is a major factor in our overall health and wellbeing. This brief quiz from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine may provide a clue to your sleep profile:

• Have you been told or know that you snore?
• Have you been told that you stop breathing while asleep
• Do you jolt awake gasping for a breath during the night?
• Even though you’ve slept all night do you still feel tired in the morning?
• Have you ever been treated for high blood pressure?
• Are you having trouble controlling your weight?
• Do you wake up in the morning with a headache?
• Is your memory or ability to concentrate failing?
• Do you feel sleepy or fall asleep while reading, watching TV or even driving?
• Do you seem to be losing your sex drive?

If you or someone close to you answered “yes” to three or more of the above questions you should discuss your symptoms with your physician or a sleep specialist. Untreated, sleep apnea can be extremely serious and should not be ignored.

Most people with a sleep disorder haven’t had a good night sleep in years and often don’t recognize that they have a problem. Even if you think your snoring is mild, you may be surprised to find out just how much it affects your waking hours.
