I've always loved a good quiz..and the fact that this one dealt with the oh so very lovely topic about sleep deprevation, I just couldn't resist. ^_^
So, are you brave enough to find out how sleep deprived you are (or are not)?
Either say Yes Or No to each question.
1. Do you usually need a loud alarm clock to wake you up in the morning?
2. Do you usually hit the snooze control to get a few minutes more of sleep when the alarm goes off in the morning (or simple turn off the alarm and try to catch a bit more sleep)?
3. Do you find that getting out of bed in the morning is usually a struggle?
4. Do you sometimes sleep through the alarm?
5. Do you usually find that a single beer, glass of wine, or other alcoholic drink seems to have a noticeable effect on you?
6. Do you sleep longer on weekend than you normally do during the week?
7. On vacations and holidays do you sleep longer than you normally do on regular weekdays?
8. Do you often feel that your "get-up-and-do" has gotten up and gone?
9. Do you find that it is more difficult to attend to details on routine chores than it used to be?
10. Do you sometimes fall asleep when you had not intended to?
11. Do you sometimes find yourself getting very sleepy while you are sitting and reading?
12. Do you sometimes find yourself getting very sleepy or dozing off when you are watching TV?
13. When you are a passenger in an airplane, care, bus, or train and the trip lasts over an hour without a break, do you commonly find yourself getting very sleepy or dozing off?
14. Do you usually feel extremely sleepy or doze off when you are sitting quietly after a large lunch without alcohol?
15. Do you tend to get sleepy when you are sitting quietly at a public meeting, lecture, or in a theater?
16. Have you sometimes found yourself getting extremely sleepy with the urge to doze when you drive and are stopped for a few minutes in traffic?
17. Do you drink more than four cups or tea (containing caffeine) during the day?
Okay, so count up your yes-s.
Possible Totals:
1-4: You don't have any sleep debt! Congrats!
5-8: You're alright, you're only a little in debt.
8-11: You're borderline depriving your mind.
12-14: You're ruining your brain and its power. You're in MAJOR debt! WORK ON THAT!
15-17: You're bankrupt. You need desperate help.
I managed to get a 12 myself...^^;;; Not good..>_>;;
My goal for tonight will be 10:30. Not getting ready for bed by 10:30, but to be in bed by then. That way, I'll get my full 8 hrs. :)
