Sleep Disorder
Self Test

If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, please seek medical advice for appropriate testing and treatment.

  • Has your partner noticed that you stop breathing at night?
  • Do you snore?
  • When you snore, do you snore loudly and irregularly?
  • Do you feel sleepy during the day, even though you slept the previous night?
  • Do you find it difficult to go to sleep?
  • Is your bedtime inconsistent?
  • Do you often experience morning headaches?
  • Do you often feel exhausted or tired?
  • Do you get up frequently at night
    to urinate?
  • Do you have trouble concentrating?
  • Are you overweight or have you recently gained weight?
  • Do you have high blood pressure?

 
 

Are you always getting sleepy at times when you need to be awake? Or can't sleep when it's time to turn in? If so, chances are you have a sleep disorder.

Well, here's your wake-up call: sleep disorders can lead to irritability, depression, a lack of concentration and a whole sack-full of other problems. These include increased risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. And there's nothing dreamy about those things.

But treatment options are available, and for a variety of problems, like sleep apnea, snoring, restless leg syndrome, insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness.

At Bedford Memorial Hospital's Sleep Lab, our healthcare professionals can detect what's affecting your sleep. Call (540) 587-3340 for more information, or talk to your doctor about a referral.
