Yes, I was a young fit 23 year old, like, six pack abs and muscular.
I finally got my sleep study, and I had 79 AHI! When I went to get the equipment, they thought I would be severely obese.
It changed my life, but I worry how much long term damage was done until then. My friend told me when I slept over (around age 14) that I would literally stop breathing and he thought I was dead. Then I would suddenly gasp awake.
Anyways, if you're having trouble remaining awake, definitely get tested. If you have everyday headaches, get tested! Life can be much better.

Especially considering lifestyle factors and genetics aren't always properly controlled for in studies. Just look at how something like different dosages of alcohol affects different populations! I personally have a high BMI and high creatinine levels. No, I'm not obese with messed up kidneys (which the doctors thought); I just lift a lot and supplement with creatine. Of course, doctors tend to be overworked, so I don't doubt they would be able to think clearly if they worked normal shifts and got adequate rest.
