TEST THE QUALITY OF YOUR SLEEP

One out of five Americans has a sleep disorder that robs them of sleep, energy and attention and could, potentially, put them and others at risk for injury. Many of these people suffer needlessly, simply because they are unaware that a problem exists.

Once detected, most sleep disorders can be corrected. The simple test below is designed to alert you to any problems resulting from poor-quality sleep. If you have experienced any of the following symptoms in the last year, click on the box beside the number. When you are through, click on the "submit" button at the bottom of a page. Your completed test will be returned to Johnson Memorial Hospital's Pulmonary Department via a secure server and, should your answers indicate a possible sleep problem, a staff member will call you to discuss.

Please note that this test informs you of symptoms that are similar to those experienced by individuals with sleep disorders. It is intended as a general source of educational information and does not contain medical advice. It should not be used for diagnosis or treatment.
