Then add up all of your points and write the total here: _____. In general, with a score above 7 points you will notice the effects of sleep debt in terms of reduced efficiency and well-being. With a score above 12 points your reduced effectiveness and changes in your disposition and mood will also be apparent to other people, including fellow workers, students, friends, and family members.If you scored:< = 4 pts: You are obtaining an adequate amount of sleep and are not showing any significant signs of sleepdebt.5 or 6 pts: You are probably getting enough sleep on most days, although there may be days when your sleep account is a bit short, which may cause you to be less than 100% on some activities.7 or 8 pts: You are showing evidence of sleep debt that may cause a noticeable reduction in your efficiency at work or school and which may affect your ability to finish all of your required activities on time. Things to watch for are little errors and short episodes of inattention. You will occasionally “slip up”, act clumsy, reach a wrong conclusion, or miss an important detail. Usually at this levelyou will catch the errors if you have the chance to recheck your work, although the errors that pass by you may be embarrassing or costly.9 to 11 pts: With a score at these levels, you definitely have a large sleep debt. There is a possibility that you may commit large, random errors or omissions in your work or that you may miss small errors even when you go over your work a second time. Things to watch for are missed appointments and not remembering that you were given particular information or instructions, although others remember telling you. Other telltale symptoms that you might notice are episodes of minor clumsiness, such as dropping or knocking things over more frequently. Sometimes there are mood changes. Especially watch for feelings of reduced motivation (a “why bother”?) attitude) or brief bouts of depression or annoyance. There may also be times when you feel just swamped or overworked because of all of the tasks that you have to do. 12 to 14 pts: With scores at this level, sleep debt may be taking a major toll on your life. In addition to the symptoms that were outlined for scores of 7 to 11 points, your general quality of life may be suffering. You may have inexplicable instances where you make a major mistake on a task or leave out an important item and just don’t notice it until too late. You r patience for doing detailed and close work may be starting to disappear. You may find yourself less interested in many of the things that you formerly found fascinating. All of this is often accompanied by attitudes such as “I don’t go to the movies (or watch TV shows) much anymore because they are all getting so dull, boring, and predictable” or “I just don’t have the time and patience anymore tosit and listen to music (or read a book)”. You may also be a bit more accident-prone. You may be noticing more near-misses when you drive or finding that you cut or burn yourself, spill things, or bump into people and things more frequently. You may have occasional cries in confidence, such as misgivings about your overall competence. There may even be some temporary memory effects, such as momentarily forgetting or being unsure that you correctly remember your home, business, or school address or phone number or other familiar detail.> = 15 pts: Scores like this suggest that sleep debt is a major problem. In fact, your levels of sleepiness are in the range often found in people with clinical levels of sleep disturbance (such as sleep apnea or severe insomnia). If your score is this high you almost certainly need a marked change in sleep behavior to ensure your physical and psychological safety. You should definitely start by increasing the amount of sleep you get. If this doesn’t lower
