Sleep Apnea Risk Test

The STOP-BANG questionnaire: a clinically validated, 8-question screen for obstructive sleep apnea. Takes about a minute.

  1. S Do you snore loudly?

    Louder than talking, or loud enough to be heard through closed doors.

  2. T Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the daytime?

    Even after a full night's sleep.

  3. O Has anyone observed you stop breathing during sleep?

    Pauses in breathing, gasping, or choking.

  4. P Do you have (or are you being treated for) high blood pressure?
  5. B Is your BMI more than 35 kg/m²?
  6. A Are you older than 50?
  7. N Is your neck circumference greater than 40 cm (15.75 in)?

    Measured around the Adam's apple.

  8. G Are you male?

Medical disclaimer: This screening tool estimates risk only; it does not diagnose sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime accidents. If you score intermediate or high risk, or you regularly wake gasping or unrefreshed, please talk to a doctor or a sleep specialist about a proper sleep study.
