Before You Fade

The Fade Score

Last updated

Ten questions about the habits that usually sit behind the afternoon crash and the 3am wake-up. Takes about a minute. You get a score from 0 to 30 and the two or three habits worth changing first.

This is not a medical test. If you have unexplained weight change, very high blood pressure, muscle weakness, easy bruising, or symptoms of depression or anxiety, see a doctor.

Your answers never leave this page. There's no tracking of what you pick.
