Sleep apnea is no joke… a relative had it so bad they were randomly falling asleep all the time during the day, they were just absurdly sleep deprived. But they were claiming they were “sleeping fine 8 hours a day” and it was nothing. They only got it checked after the whole family refused to get in the car if they were driving and refused to let them babysit. That was the wake up call they needed. (Oddly the whole thing lasted two months total from first symptoms to absurdity and intervention) Now with the CPAP they are doing great again.

I know someone that died in their 20s from sleep apnea.

When my dad had a TBI, I told the nurses that he had undiagnosed sleep apnea because he wasn’t coherent yet. Their response? “Oh honey, we know.”
