2) More than twice, had two or more alcoholic drinks at night to calm yourself down? Yes/No

3) More than once, found yourself mindlessly surfing the Web for several hours very late at night?
Yes/No

4) Experienced sleep difficulties, particularly waking in the middle of the night and having trouble falling back asleep? Yes/No

5) Without thinking, smacked your child or even your husband out of anger? Yes/No

6) Been regularly hypercritical with your spouse/partner, and found yourself arguing regularly as a couple? Yes/No
