Simple questions to ask oneself

Do you have difficulty with your memory?

Do you react slowly?

Do you perform below your potential in work, school, or sports?

Do you often get told by others that you look tired?

Do you have emotional outbursts?

Do you have difficulty with your memory?

Do you have difficulty staying awake when sitting still, such as when watching television or reading?

Do you drink much coffee or tea to make yourself going?

Do you have difficulty paying attention or concentrating at work, school, or home?

Do you feel like taking a nap almost every day?

Do you feel irritable or sleepy during the day?

Do you fall asleep sometimes while driving?

A positive answer to any of these questions might mean that you suffer from sleep deprivation. And sleep deprivation is the main symptom of sleep disorders. You should consult a physician or sleep specialist for a diagnosis if you suspect that you have a sleep disorder. Still in doubt? Simply ask yourself the above-listed questions!
