Sleep History Questionnaire

Sleep Disorders Affect 40 Million Americans

      About 40 million Americans suffer from primary sleep disorders. Most are unaware that typical sleep disorders include: narcolepsy, sleep apnea (obstructive and central), restless leg syndrome), insomnia, and para-somnia.
     Evidence suggests that sleep disorders play a role in virtually all immune, auto-immune, gastro-intestinal and hormonal disorders. In many cases, sleep disorder is the virtual cause of these disorders. This means that the following symptoms may be caused or being perpetuated by your lack of sufficient sleep: gas, ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, frequent colds/flu, male and female complaints, and auto-immune diseases, such as Fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS, Chronic Fatigue, and others.
     Complete the Sleep History Questionnaire to evaluate your sleep patterns by answering all questions accurately.

(DO NOT GUESS- Have a someone observe your sleep, then answer accurately.)

Score Definition

Score #
1. Congratulations - You have Normal Sleep Patterns! Keep doing what you are doing.

2. Minor Sleep Disturbance or Patterns Indicated - Additional information is required to create a positive and restful sleep environment with some minor adjustments in your current sleep patterns. If not corrected, sleep disorder will eventually occur. Information to correct minor sleep disturbance or patterns can be obtained by ordering the Personal Education Program (PEP) Session #19 on Sleep. Click here to order.

3. Abnormal Sleep Patterns or Sleep Disorder Indicated - A clinical nutrition support program is required to produce natural growth hormones and balance body chemistry to restore natural sleep. Getting more regular sleep helps, but will not correct biochemistry that has been adversely affected by abnormal sleep patterns.
