Thanks for the replies. I always get at least 8 hours of sleep per night, but for some reason, I am still tired all of the time. And I have had an auto accident from falling alseep at the wheel, but it was 15 years ago, and it was in the wee hours of the night. My memory problems is what scares me the most.
Another thing that I am worried about is the fact that I am pretty sure that my husband has sleep apnea. He has bouts of insomnia, snores like a bear, has always had serious sinus problems, and has this thing about jerking his arms/legs/body in his sleep. But trying to get him to go to the doctor is like an act of Congress. So might my sleep problems have something to do with the fact that HIS problems are causing me to not sleep restfully? Or do we both have it? I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the doctor, nag and fight with him until he goes to the doctor, or should we both go? We have the same primary care physician, so maybe I should just make an appointment with him and discuss the whole saga. If he said my husband needed to come in, a least that would give me a little ammunition.
By the way, is sleep apnea hereditary?
