Are you having trouble sleeping?

If you're having trouble sleeping, you're not alone. Millions of people don't get enough sleep, but when is sleeplessness a problem? Take this quick quiz to see if you need a doctor's help.

  1. Do you watch late night television because you can't fall asleep or do you wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep?
  2. Are you often irritable? Or do you have trouble thinking at work?
  3. Do you eat spicy foods for dinner? Or do you drink fizzy drinks, coffee or alcohol in the afternoon or evening?
  4. Are you experiencing a lot of stress in your life?
  5. Do you exercise before going to bed?
