Sleep Disorder Questionnaire

Answering “Sometimes” or “Usually” to any of these questions might indicate the potential for a sleep disorder, or a condition which could disrupt sleep. If this is the case, you might want to review this with your doctor. 

A recent survey by The National Sleep Foundation revealed that up to 80% of primary care physicians do not ask questions about, or screen for sleep-related problems or disorders. Print this out and by being proactive in your own care and reviewing these results with your doctor, you might prevent significant disease in the future.
