STOP-BANG Sleep Apnea Screener
A validated screening tool used by doctors worldwide to assess obstructive sleep apnea risk.
This is a screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

T.Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the daytime?
O.Has anyone observed you stop breathing or choking/gasping during your sleep?
P.Are you being treated for high blood pressure?
B.Is your BMI greater than 35?
A.Are you over 50 years old?
N.Is your neck circumference greater than 16 inches (40 cm)?
A men's dress shirt collar size 16+ inches, or a medium t-shirt that feels tight at the neck.

This refers to biological sex assigned at birth, which affects airway anatomy and sleep apnea risk.
