Daily-life situations this test explores

In the evening, at bedtime
Difficulty turning off your mind, anticipating tomorrow, fragmented sleep, night awakenings with invasive thoughts.
In transport or crowds
Body tension, urge to flee, suffocating feeling, heightened scanning of the environment, fear of losing control.
