Test: Do you suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Those affected by obstructive sleep apnea suffer from brief pauses in breathing night after night, which reflexively startle them out of sleep and make a restful night’s sleep impossible. Nevertheless, many of those affected do not know anything about their illness, because the nocturnal interruptions in breathing and sleep happen unconsciously and are forgotten the next morning. Then it is helpful if the partner can provide relevant information.

However, the combination of a lack of oxygen supply and disturbed sleep architecture damages the body and therefore also triggers symptoms during the day that can provide those affected with indications of obstructive sleep apnea.

Use this self-test to find out if you have symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. Please note, however, that it cannot replace a professional diagnosis by a doctor or an examination in a sleep laboratory.
