Know your snore score
How to do it:
 
Determine your snore score by taking this short 
assessment
. If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, discuss your 
symptoms with a medical provider.
Why do it:
The Snore Score was developed by the American Sleep Apnea 
Association to help individuals assess their risk of sleep apnea, which is a 
medical condition that can impair sleep and cause health problems. It is 
important to identify whether sleep problems are due to a medical 
condition so it can be treated early and appropriately.
Own a supportive mattress and comfortable pillows
How to do it:
 Mattresses should be replaced every 8-10 years. Make sure 
that your mattress is not sagging and is supporting you comfortably 
during sleep. When choosing a mattress, spend at least 10 minutes testing 
it out before buying. Choose pillows that support your head and neck and 
are comfortable to you. If replacing the mattress is not an option, you can 
improve a sagging mattress by putting a plywood board between your 
mattress and box spring or frame. Using a mattress pad or topper can 
also improve your sleep on an uneven mattress.
Why do it:
Having a comfortable mattress and comfortable pillows are 
important to getting a good night's sleep. Getting a good night's sleep 
improves productivity, physical and emotional health, and longevity.
Remove digital alarm clocks or turn the clock so it is facing away from 
the bedside
How to do it:
 Remove digital alarm clocks from your bedroom or turn 
your clock away from your bedside so the time is not visible to you.
Why do it:
The light from digital alarm clocks can disrupt sleep. In 
addition, hiding your clock from your line of sight will help you avoid clock 
watching during the night.
Remove all phones from your bedroom
