Ready to talk OSA?
When potential OSA symptoms start to affect you during the day, don’t sleep on it
Use the questionnaire and talking points below to help start a conversation with your doctor about potential OSA symptoms.*
First, answer a few questions about your sleeping habits and how you feel when you wake up.
1. Do you snore loudly, or have you been told you snore loudly?
Loud enough to be heard from another room or wake a partner.

So much so that you’re noticing a difference in your daily life while working or doing household tasks.
3. Do you wake up feeling tired or fatigued?
4. Do you often feel irritable during the day because you’re tired?
5. Has anyone told you it sounds like you’re having trouble breathing while sleeping?
6. Do you have trouble concentrating or remembering things during the day?
7. Do you ever wake up with a morning headache?
Next, make some selections about yourself.*

10. What’s your neck circumference?
