The more times you answered "yes," the more likely it is that you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be potentially life threatening and should be treated.
According to the National Institute of Health, 1 in 5 adult Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and 9 out 10 cases are undiagnosed. Arlington residents who fall into one or more of the following categories are at the highest risk of developing sleep apnea:

Male
Overweight
Over the age of 40
Regularly drink alcohol

The only way to be sure if you have obstructive sleep apnea is to have a sleep test either at home from a qualified sleep physician or in a hospital sleep center. Find out how likely you are to doze off at any time during the day, and calculate your risk for sleep apnea by taking the surveys below.
