Thank you for the input, Doug. We have been checking on her periodically during the nights and waking her up each time just to make sure she is responsive, as the two nights in question shook us up. Three of those times (out of 6 or 7)she didn't respond at all despite our same efforts (patting her cheeks, lifting her eyelids, speaking to her, etc), but she wasn't snoring either (just deep, even breathing) so we figured she was simply sleeping hard. There was only the two nights of loud snoring. Then the last few nights Melissa has said Sarah wasn't snoring loudly, but every now and then would mumble in her sleep or snore softly for just a few minutes. I am going to look into a sleep test for her just to make sure everything is ok. Those two nights in a row came after a two-week period where she was only sleeping 3-4hrs a night and running full-speed during the days, so maybe it was simply a freaky exhaustion-related change in her sleep...? I will look into it though because if she does have OSA we certainly need to treat it. Any other comments? Is it normal for someone in deep sleep to be unresponsive to the point Sarah has been when we have tried to awaken her during the night? Thanks for responding.
