Yeah, you're right that doctors kind of missed this. Sometimes I wonder how many questions they ask (depression is what she was being treated for with little success) and how much is volunteered.
I happen to enjoy reading NTSB accident reports in my spare time, and they're always sleep apnea, so it was at the top of mind when I heard things like "headache every morning" and "I randomly fall asleep on my couch". I didn't go to medical school so I'm not sure if those are anxiety/depression symptoms, but a sleep study sounded like it wouldn't hurt. You're absolutely right that doctors should at least be asking these questions ("how tired are you", there is even a scale with more specific questions).
