Sleep Apnea Test

Take the sleep apnea test below to see if you may be suffering from this potentially dangerous sleep disorder. Then, if you have any indicators, see your doctor right away. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to life-threatening conditions including heart disease, stroke, and other degenerative illnesses.

The following sleep test is for your own evaluation. There's nothing to submit. To confirm a diagnosis, your doctor will need to administer a formal, clinically based apnea test.

To begin, choose your answer from the drop-down boxes. Then, add up the number of "yes" answers you have. The likelihood of your being a sleep apnea sufferer (according to the number of "yes" answers you give) is provided below the test.

Sleep Apnea Test
You snore loudly most/every night

You sometimes/often wake up at night with a choking feeling

You wake up suddenly at night with a choking feeling

Your sleep partner says you snort, choke, gasp or hold your breath while sleeping

You often wake up with a dry throat/mouth

You often wake up with a headache

You regularly feel exhausted even after a full nights sleep

You have high blood pressure

You're overweight

You sometimes/often experience irregular heartbeats

You have trouble with concentration and memory

You're frequently bad tempered, moody or irritable


If you answered "yes" to six or more of the above questions, there's a strong possibility that you're suffering from sleep apnea. The first four questions represent major indicators of sleep apnea. If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, there's a high risk that you are suffering from sleep apnea.

As stated above, sleep apnea poses significant health risks and it's important that you visit with your physician to get a definitive diagnosis and explore treatment options. For more information, click on the links below.
