That is what my pulmonologist told me yesterday when I went in to get the results of my sleep study. I apparently have severe sleep apnea and likely have been living with it for decades and not realizing it.
By looking at how regular my apnea was my doc guesses I haven't really slept in years and my body just got used to it. He said it has gotten noticeable recently because I got married and strted sleeping on my back and working a job that wouldn't let me sleep all day.
This is blowing my mind. Apparently a lot of my health problems, which I had been fighting one at a time, might be caused by this one big thing. I am told by him, and others, that the CPAP I am getting might change my life considerably. I get it next week. If this isn't how I am supposed to feel I wonder what getting a good night's sleep feels like?
Anyone feeling tired after 8 hours of sleep should see your Doctor and get referred to pulmonologist. You might have apnea and not know it, especially if you are single.
I was lucky we caught it before I started getting into the brain damage levels of oxygen loss. I should fully recover thankfully.
