What This Assessment Evaluates
This screening tool examines the most common sleep apnea indicators using the clinically-validated STOP-BANG questionnaire. You’ll answer eight straightforward questions about your snoring patterns, daytime tiredness, observed breathing pauses, blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender. Each factor contributes to your overall risk score.

Understanding Your Sleep Apnea Risk Assessment Results
What Your Score Means
The sleep apnea self-assessment test generates a numerical score from 0 to 8 based on your responses. Scores of 0-2 indicate low risk, 3-4 suggest moderate risk, and 5-8 signal high risk for obstructive sleep apnea. This scoring system comes from the STOP-BANG questionnaire, which has been validated in clinical studies and is widely used by sleep medicine professionals across North America.
Low Risk Results (Score 0-2)
If your assessment shows low risk, you likely don’t have significant sleep apnea symptoms right now. However, risk factors can develop over time with weight gain, aging, or other health changes. We recommend monitoring your sleep quality and retaking the screening annually, especially if you notice new symptoms like increased snoring or daytime fatigue.
Moderate Risk Results (Score 3-4)
A moderate risk score means you’re showing several warning signs that warrant professional evaluation. Many Vancouver Island residents in this category benefit from a home sleep test to confirm whether sleep apnea is present. Home testing in Parksville lets you complete the study in your own bed rather than traveling to a mainland sleep lab, with results typically available within days.
High Risk Results (Score 5-8)
High risk scores strongly suggest the presence of obstructive sleep apnea. If you score in this range, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our team as soon as possible. Sleep apnea isn’t just about snoring – untreated cases increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The good news is that effective treatments like CPAP therapy can dramatically improve your sleep quality and overall health.
