I’m intrigued by this. Did you have any symptoms that pointed to sleep apnea besides being tired/falling asleep during the day?

I used to fall asleep during class, which led to my (positive) life changing adhd diagnosis. While stimulants have since helped me stay awake, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s still an underlying sleep problem. May mention this next time I see my doc.

- I would often feel a ‘brain fog’.

- I would wake up with a headache which would continue through the day.

- I would drool a lot at night

- I would wake up several times during each night

- I would not have any dreams

- very low memory capacity (could not remember what I had been doing even a few days before)

- Just low motivation in general.

I don’t know how much it would cost, but if you can afford it I think you should do it. A few hundred dollars in my case was nothing compared to the cost of having my life sapped over the years by this illness. Best of luck to you.

EDIT: I think being a mouth-breather is a factor too.

Brain fog, loss of interest in things...

Another big one can be getting up to pee at night, as your bladder fills up when you stop breathing for some reason.
