Sleep Quiz
Sleep Disorders. Are you are risk?
Although sleep disorders affect millions of people, most don’t realize the symptoms. Even fewer realize that, once detected, most sleep disorders can be corrected. That’s where the Sleep Disorders Center at South Suburban Hospital can help. Take this test to find out if you are at risk for a sleep disorder.
- Do you snore?
- Are you sleepy during the day?
- Are you overweight?
- Do you wake up with morning headaches?
- Do you have high blood pressure?
- Are you irritable, fatigued or have difficulty concentrating?
- Do you find it hard to stay awake while driving, watching TV, reading a book or attending a meeting?
- Do you ever wake up choking, gasping for air or have a skipping or racing heartbeat during the night?
- Has anyone watched you sleep and told you that you hold your breath, snort and often move during sleep?
If you answered YES to 2 or more questions, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. Untreated, a sleep disorder can increase the chances of driving accidents, increased risk of serious illnesses, and can affect your daily activities, your work and your relationships. If you suspect a sleeping disorder, contact your family physician or call the South Suburban Hospital Sleep Disorders Center at 1-800-3-ADVOCATE (1-800-323-8622).
