"Canadian Tiredness Test
Did you have a bad night’s sleep last night? Are you feeling tired and not at your best? Take The Canadian Tiredness Test to find out just how alert you are!"
I realize from years of experience that "tiredness" doesn't come close to describing what people with ME experience. Nevertheless, the test was a fun exercise with interesting results. Here are mine -- test done after fully awake, but before much done to deplete my energy:
"time for some serious snoozing
Sounds like you got a terrible sleep last night.
test duration: 1 minute, 39 seconds
false starts: 0 (reaction time quicker than 100 milliseconds)
signals missed: 5 (reaction time slower than 500 milliseconds)
average reaction time: 419 milliseconds (on average, 220 milliseconds would be a 'good' reaction time)"
Anyone out there interested in taking the challenge?
