Please go see a sleep doctor, not a GP. I was diagnosed in my late 30s, and I was definitely not overweight at the time. In retrospect, many things that I thought were normal (or even positive) turned out to be very clear symptoms of chronic sleep deprivation.
- SaintGhurka 6y agoI'll second this. I had sleep apnea but I don't remember ever waking up gasping - not even once. I only know about it because my wife said I'd stop breathing while I was sleeping.
- mancerayder 6y agoAside from sleepiness, what sort of symptoms did you have? Are you referring to mood disorder and/or inflammation?
- Afton 6y agoOne that really stands out is how quickly and easily I could fall asleep. Like, on a commuter bus, or watching a movie with people. And how I'd be asleep within seconds of getting into bed. I thought I was 'sleep efficient', turns I was just sleep deprived, but thought it was normal.
- stellar678 6y agoI'm super curious - what were symptoms of your sleep deprivation that you took to be positive qualities?
