+1 My father snored loudly all my life and as he grew elderly (and sleep apnea awareness/treatments increased) it became glaringly obvious he suffered from sleep apnea and would literally choke himself awake repeatedly throughout the night. Of course he had a tendency to fall asleep watching tv for lack of any restful sleep overnight. I think it goes without saying there was a psychological effect, it's too complicated with many factors I don't even attempt to link specific effects. But I'm confident the sleep situation wasn't doing him (and his family) any favors.
