A full night in bed does not always feel like a full night of rest. Do you lie awake, wake repeatedly or struggle to stay alert the next day? Explore the details that a single question about sleep quality can miss.
Take the free Sleep Disorders Test and explore 39 original questions in about 8-10 minutes. The test and basic information are free.
Go beyond a quick label
A short answer can miss the difference between what happens, how often it happens and what it changes in your day. This questionnaire looks at separate areas so that you can focus on your own experiences instead of trying to fit a stereotype. You can start with the free basic information and decide afterward whether the full report would be useful.
What the 39 questions explore
Falling asleep and staying asleep
Difficulty settling into sleep, repeated waking and returning to sleep even when you have an opportunity to rest. Notice what happens before and during wakefulness rather than trying to force a perfect night. Stress, schedules, pain, medicines and other factors can overlap. A repeated problem despite enough opportunity to sleep is useful information to take to a clinician.
Daytime alertness and disruption
Sleepiness, feeling unrefreshed and the ways sleep difficulties interfere with ordinary activities. Separate a lack of energy from an urge to fall asleep when describing your experience. Both can matter, but they are not identical. Record when alertness drops and whether the problem interferes with tasks. Do not use a low questionnaire summary to override sleepiness during driving.
Physical interruptions and sleep timing
Noticed breathing concerns, uncomfortable sensations, unusual waking and difficulty sleeping at the times life requires. These experiences do not all have the same cause. A bed partner may notice breathing changes that you cannot observe yourself. No report of a breathing pause does not establish that none occurred. Repeated gasping, breathing pauses or marked daytime sleepiness warrant a discussion with a health professional.
How to take the test
Think about the past four weeks. Choose how often each experience applied to you. Answer from your own experience, rather than what you think an answer should be. You can pause or stop. For experiences someone else would notice, answer only about what you have actually noticed or been told; an unreported experience may still occur. If you feel sleepy, do not drive or operate machinery. Repeated waking with gasping or reported breathing pauses deserves medical attention, whatever your questionnaire summary. Severe breathing difficulty requires urgent medical help.
Your free basic information
Complete the questions to receive a brief response-based summary and essential guidance. You can read this before deciding whether to purchase anything. No payment is required to answer the questions or read this basic information.
What makes the detailed report useful?
The optional report shows 3 separate area summaries, explains the experiences behind each one and lets you review every answer. You can see whether one area stands out or several need attention, without reducing the result to one label. Each interpretation includes a concrete way to organise observations for a useful conversation.
The companion e-book, Making Sense of Disrupted Sleep, adds context and practical reflection prompts. The purchase is a single optional payment. The report adds detail to your answers; it does not require buying ongoing access.
How the response summaries work
This original Mind Indicator questionnaire summarises the experiences you selected. Each of the 3 areas contains 13 statements scored from 0 to 4. Its displayed number is rounded from the area's points divided by 52 and multiplied by 100. The descriptions at 0-33, 34-66 and 67-100 are editorial response-frequency bands, not research-derived clinical thresholds. There is no overall illness score, population ranking or percentage probability. These new items have not been independently validated or normed. A lower summary does not rule out a concern, and one important experience can deserve attention regardless of the numbers.
Do not wait for a score when support matters
If you feel sleepy, do not drive or operate machinery. Repeated waking with gasping or reported breathing pauses deserves medical attention, whatever your questionnaire summary. Severe breathing difficulty requires urgent medical help.
Make your next step concrete
Think of one recent example that explains an answer you found difficult. Note what happened, what you intended, what changed afterward and what help you would find useful. You do not need a perfect explanation before talking to a professional or trusted person. If your experience changes, compare the context rather than using repeated scores as a target.
