You should be very cautious with this kind of self diagnostics.
- What if you get a negative result (i.e. you're ok)? Are you just gonna live happily ever after, ignoring any symptoms of sleep deprivation since you have already ruled out apnea?
- What if you get a positive result? You'll still have to go through the same kind of studies again, no doctor would give you much credit for your home study.
So, if you suspect you have sleep apnea you should go talk to your doctor. Your notes on sleep apnea are good though... it's a serious and a very commonly undiagnosed/untreated condition... even thought the cure is in most cases relatively noninvasive and cheap(CPAP). People above average weight should be particularly alert to typical symptoms (sleepyness, lack of energy).
