How the result is decided

Each answer adds to one of 4 facets. Whichever facet ends up highest names your type, so the result is about what leads rather than what is absent.

The bodyThe mindThe clockThe room

This is a screening-style questionnaire, not a diagnosis. A high score is a reason to talk to someone who can assess properly.

All 4 types

🌜The FurnaceSomething physical is ending the night — heat, a drink clearing, reflux, pain, a breath that catches. The body is still running when it should have banked down.🌜The Night ShiftYou do not wake and then start thinking. The thought is already there, fully formed, in the first second — and then the arithmetic starts.🌜The Thin WallThe cheapest cause to fix and the one most people skip past: something in the room is ending your night, and it is not always making a noise.🌜The Early DawnYou wake before dawn and you are fully, annoyingly awake — which is often not insomnia at all, but a clock that has slid earlier than your schedule.
