1. Do you have a sleeping disorder? When did you notice it? How long has it been now?

2. Was it abrupt or gradual onset?

3. What's your average sleep per night?

4. What do you do when you simply cannot sleep? Did anything work for you?

5. Are you taking any prescription medications? What and how effective are they?
