A brief 10-question self-check exploring how your sleep is affecting your mood, focus, and daily energy. Sleep difficulties often interact with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-like symptoms.
What this self-check covers
You will rate how often each of the following has applied to you over the last 2 weeks:
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you had trouble falling asleep within 30 minutes of going to bed?
How often have you woken up in the middle of the night and had difficulty getting back to sleep?
How often have you woken earlier than you wanted to and been unable to fall back asleep?
How often have you felt unrefreshed or still tired after a full night in bed?
How often has poor sleep affected your mood the next day?
How often have you felt low energy or fatigue that interfered with work, school, or daily tasks?
How often have racing thoughts or worry kept you from sleeping?
How often have you used caffeine, alcohol, or other substances to manage sleep or energy?
How often has poor sleep affected your concentration or memory?
How often have you felt that your sleep concerns are interfering with your overall well-being?
How results are interpreted
Each answer is scored 0 (Not at all / Never) to 4 (Constantly / Very Often). Your total score maps to one of four reflection tiers:
Low concern. Your responses suggest few sleep-related concerns at this time. Continuing to protect a consistent sleep schedule and good sleep hygiene is beneficial.
Some concerns. Your responses suggest mild sleep difficulties that may be affecting your mood or energy. Sleep hygiene strategies, a consistent schedule, and reducing late-day caffeine or alcohol may help.
Consider reaching out. Your responses suggest moderate sleep difficulties that are likely affecting your mood, focus, or daily function. Consider scheduling an evaluation to discuss what may be driving the sleep concerns.
Professional evaluation recommended. Your responses suggest significant sleep difficulties that are interfering with daily life. We recommend a professional evaluation to identify contributing factors and explore appropriate options.

What happens after this screener
A self-screener can help you organize what you are noticing, but it does not replace a clinical evaluation. If your results suggest reaching out, the next step is a psychiatric visit where a clinician reviews your history, current symptoms, medical background, and other factors that could be contributing — then discusses options with you.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a sleep disorder diagnosis?
No. This self-check is educational only. A formal evaluation for insomnia or another sleep concern requires a clinical visit and, in some cases, referral for a sleep study.
How are sleep and mental health connected?
Sleep difficulties and mood or anxiety symptoms frequently amplify each other. Treating one without addressing the other often leads to partial relief. A psychiatric evaluation looks at all of these together.
Do you prescribe sleep medications?
When clinically appropriate, yes. Our preference is to first address contributing factors (mood, anxiety, sleep schedule, caffeine, alcohol) and to use the lowest effective dose of medication for the shortest reasonable time — with regular review.
What about insomnia that isn't tied to mood?
Pure insomnia (no mood or anxiety component) often responds well to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). We can discuss whether referral or short-term medication makes more sense for your situation.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes — SLS Psychiatry accepts several major commercial plans. See our insurance page for the current in-network list.
Can I do the visit by telehealth?
Yes. Most adult psychiatry visits at SLS Psychiatry, including sleep-related concerns, can be done by secure video anywhere in Texas.
