MERA Sleep Apnoea Score

A self-check for adults (18 years and above) who snore or feel sleepy during the day. Answer each question, and you'll see how likely obstructive sleep apnoea is.

This is a self-check, not a diagnosis. Only a sleep study can confirm sleep apnoea. Your answers stay on your phone or computer and are not stored or sent anywhere. For children under 18, use the MERA Child Sleep Apnoea Score.
