How Much Do You Really Know About Your Sleep?
Most people miss the early warning signs of airway and sleep disorders because the symptoms seem harmless at first. Snoring sounds “normal.” Grinding feels like “stress.” Mouth breathing becomes a habit. However, each of these can signal something deeper about your airway, sleep quality, and long-term health.
This quick Sleep IQ Challenge reveals what your habits may actually mean. It takes less than one minute and might surprise you.
Your Results: What They Really Mean
Whether your score impressed you or opened your eyes, the important thing is this: sleep and airway issues are far more common than most people realize.
Snoring, grinding, mouth breathing, poor sleep, and morning fatigue are not just nightly annoyances; they can also have significant long-term effects. They can be signs that your airway is working too hard to keep you breathing at night. Over time, this can affect your mood, focus, dental health, and overall wellness.
Here are a few important insights the quiz touches on:
- Snoring in children is never normal
- Teeth grinding is often linked to airway stress
- Mouth breathing impacts facial development and sleep quality
- Alcohol can make sleep apnea worse
- CPAP is not the only solution for sleep apnea
If any of these apply to you or your child, you’re in the right place.
