Evaluating Your "Snore-Score"
If you answered TRUE to questions 1, 2, 3, and 4, your snoring probably interferes with your personal life.
If you answered TRUE to question 5, it means you may be a positional snorer. This may be remedied by techniques that encourage you to sleep on your side.
If you answered TRUE to questions 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, there is a good chance you have sleep apnea.
Review your snore score with your doctor and discuss your symptoms for medical advice about diagnosis and treatment of snoring and sleep apnea.
