Is Your Breathing Holding You Back?
Breathing can quietly mess with your mind and body — and most people never realize it. These 16 questions uncover hidden patterns linked to overbreathing, poor sleep, anxiety, burnout, and chronic fatigue.
This isn’t fluff. The Nijmegen Questionnaire has been used for over 40 years in hospitals, sleep clinics, and by top breath coaches around the world. It reveals dysfunctional breathing patterns that mimic stress disorders — even when your labs look “normal.”
You might feel fine. You might even be fit. But if you’re unknowingly overbreathing (especially through your mouth), your nervous system could be stuck in fight-or-flight all day and night. This quiz brings that to the surface.
The test is scored on a numerical scale — from 0 (least) to 4 (worst) for each question — with a total range of 0-64. We’ll calculate your score automatically and break it down in plain English right after. No fear tactics. No confusing jargon. Just real insight into how your breath might be sabotaging your energy, sleep, and calm.
👉 Over 70% of people with anxiety also score high on this test — and never knew their breathing was part of the problem.
