Am I Sleep Deprived · type
The Full Night
The hours are broadly there, the body is not pushing back, and the day is not being paid for out of the night — whatever else is going on, it is not a duration problem.
What this type is
Your answers over the last two weeks describe someone who is mostly giving sleep the time it needs. Short nights happen, because they happen to everyone, but they are not the pattern: you are not routinely running on less than you need, your body is not making a case for more, and your attention and temper are not visibly being charged for it. A screening-style check cannot certify that you sleep well — it can only say that the amount does not look like the problem, and here it does not.
That conclusion is worth using, because the real value of this band is what it rules out. If you came here tired, and you are in this band, then the tiredness is coming from somewhere the hours cannot explain. That is not nothing — it is a much better starting position than it feels like, because it stops you spending three months on an earlier bedtime that was never going to change anything. Two neighbours are where to go next. If your nights feel long but unrestoring, the Sleep Quality Check reads what actually happens inside them — fragmentation, the habits around them, how morning feels. If the tiredness is broader than sleep, Why Am I Always Tired sorts it across the four usual sources, and one of them is medical and worth a blood test.
Two honest limits. The first is averaging: a rested overall band can sit on top of one component that is high, and the bars above show what the summary hides — most often a body sending signals from hours that look adequate on paper, which is the pattern worth taking to a doctor rather than to a sleep app. The second is the window. Two weeks is a snapshot, and sleep debt is seasonal for most people: a term, a project, a newborn, a rota change. Keep this as your picture of enough, so that when a stretch arrives where the hours quietly go, you will recognise it as a change rather than as the way you are now.
What people with this result notice
Four of the eight notes the test writes for this type; the rest come with your own result.
📉 This rules something out, and that is the point
If you came here tired, the hours are not the explanation. That is more useful than it sounds: it stops you spending three months on an earlier bedtime that was never going to move anything, and it points you at the two questions that are left — how good the sleep is once you are in it, and whether the tiredness is about sleep at all.
📊 Read the bars, not the band
A rested overall band can sit on top of one high component. The pattern worth catching is signals or costs that are high while the hours look fine — instant sleep, impossible mornings, afternoon drowsiness from nights that were long enough. That combination points at apnoea, anaemia, thyroid trouble or medication rather than at your schedule.
What produces this result
Every answer feeds one overall score, and that score falls into one of 3 bands. The bands are levels of the same thing, not different kinds of person.

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