Some Q’s for you to gauge if you’re not getting enough Zzzzz’s:

1. Are you the type who becomes unconscious as soon as your head hits the pillow? Y/N

2. Do you find yourself nodding off when you’re supposed to be relaxing for a couple of hours in front of the TV at night? Y/N

3. Are you always moody, grumpy, and easily distracted under daily circumstances? Y/N

4. Do you rely on an alarm clock to wake you up, and when it does, do you hit the snooze button repeatedly? Y/N

5. A cup of coffee is your lifeline every morning. Y/N

6. You find yourself overcompensating for sleep during weekends, because the rest of the week you are always burning the midnight oil. Y/N

Now, tally your scores. Count the number of times you said “yes” to the questions and statements above. If you have no “yes” answers, chances are you have pretty sound and healthy sleep habits.

If you answered “yes” once or more, you may be sleep deprived and need to review your current lifestyle. The quality and quantity of sleep get directly affected by your schedule, and other things that you don’t think matter. If you suspect a sleep disorder that is not easily remedied, consult your doctor.
