3. Does someone advise you that you actually stop breathing when you sleep?
4. Do you have violent behaviors during your sleep?
5. Are you always very sleepy and have muscle weakness when you get emotional (laugh, cry)?
6. Are you kept awake by restless legs or arms (a creeping, crawling sensation)?
7. Do you remain unsatisfied with the quality of your sleep after following sleep hygiene tips for two weeks?
