Have you gotten tested for sleep apnea?
- cyeb 10y agoI'm interested, what is the relevance of sleep apnea in this context?
- 0xcde4c3db 10y agoThe exact nature of the relationship hasn't been figured out, but there is definitely some nexus of chronic stress, sleep disruption, and metabolic syndrome/prediabetes. Sleep apnea is fairly common but often goes undiagnosed. People aren't routinely screened for it, and even when they are screened, the questionnaires are heavily biased toward people who present with drowsiness as their primary symptom.
