In this modern age of high-stress careers and over-stimulating technology, we often don’t check in regularly enough about our sleep habits. Bad sleep habits can lead to sleep problems like insomnia if let unchecked. Try the following quiz to see where you fall on the sleep spectrum!
a) Normally sleep between 6-8 hours nightly?
or
b) Sleep on average less than 6 hours a night?
a) Go to bed before 11 most nights and wake up fairly early?
or
b) Find it hard to go to bed early and/or wake up early?
a) Most often sleep without medication or supplements to help?
or
b) Usually need sleeping pills in order to get to sleep?
a) Sleep soundly through most nights?
or
b) Do you wake up frequently or wake with the slightest sound?
a) Generally stick to a sleeping and waking routine?
or
b) Have random bedtimes and wake up different times each day?
a) Try to get all your work done before a certain hour each day?
or
b) Do you pull all-nighters for your job and oversleep on the weekends?
a) Try to avoid caffeine or alcohol in the evening hours?
or
b) Indulge in nightcaps frequently?
a) Only use technology with special ‘night time’ screen settings, or try to avoid stimulating sights before bed?
or
b) Commonly stare at screes or use technology before bed?
a) Try to clear your mind of worries by meditating or doing a peaceful activity before bed?
or
b) Go to bed with a full mind and often get poor sleeps because of anxiety?
If you answered mostly “a” for these questions, your sleep is on point! If you answered any ‘b’s, try to tweak those particular habits to get better sleeps.
If you answered more than a 3 ‘b’s, you need to seriously overhaul your sleeping patterns before you head into insomnia territory!
