What is Sleep Apnea?

Know Your Snore Score

Are you a loud and/or regular snorer?
Yes  No  

Have you been observed to gasp or stop breathing during sleep?
Yes  No  

Do you feel tired or groggy upon awakening, or do you awaken with a headache?
Yes  No  

Are you often tired or fatigued during the wake time hours?
Yes  No  

Do you fall asleep sitting, reading, watching TV or driving?
Yes  No  

Do you often have problems with memory or concentration?
Yes  No  

If you have one or more of these symptoms you are at higher risk for having obstructive sleep apnea. If you are overweight, have a large neck, and/or have high blood pressure the risk increases even further. If you or someone close to you answers "yes" to any of the above questions, you should discuss your symptoms with your physician or a sleep specialist.
