Whether it’s noisy partners, crying infants, worries, medical problems or an addiction to your phone — if you’re 15 years or older, we want to know what’s sabotaging your sleep.

And telling us might just help us help you.

Along with diet and exercise, sleep is one of the pillars of good health.

Lack of it can affect you in myriad ways, impacting your mood, memory, alertness, productivity, capacity to learn and ability to think clearly.

Then there’s the impact on your physical health — poor sleep can affect your weight and immune system, and some studies have found there’s a relationship between sleep deprivation and high blood pressure or heart disease.
