Discover What's Really Draining Your Energy

By doing this quiz you’re taking the first step to reclaiming your energy and using science to do so.

This quiz is based on the latest research into energy and fatigue. Here's how we created it.

1. Over the past week, how refreshed have you felt after waking?
Based on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse et al., 1989)
2. How often do you eat balanced meals and stay hydrated?
Based on Fatigue Assessment Scale (Michielsen et al., 2003)
3. How does physical activity affect your energy?
Based on Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin & Shephard, 1985)
4. How would you describe your current mental and emotional load?
Based on Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (Smets et al., 1995)

Ongoing fatigue can be a sign of a serious illness.
Please check with your registered health professional.

How We Created This Quiz

Each question is adapted from a validated research instrument. Higher “data-score” values reflect less-favorable health patterns, highlighting the biggest energy drain.

  1. PSQI (1989) — Assesses sleep quality
  2. FAS (2003) — Screens fatigue
  3. Godin (1985) — Measures physical activity
  4. MFI-20 (1995) — Assesses emotional & mental load
