Well, the OP’s username certainly checks out! Sleep apnea can be a big, common cause of snoring, (especially funny/weird snoring,) since your body is desperately trying to keep you breathing and alive against other parts of your body that are trying to do the opposite, all while you’re not getting enough oxygen, lol. Then you’re pooped and foggy all the time because that kind of sleep is nooot all that restful. A lot of people don’t even realize how bad it is for them until after they got treatment. If this sounds like you or someone you love, and getting a sleep study is an option, please talk to your doctor about getting one! I gave a really simplistic explanation of it, (sorry, my brain is disabled trash,) but it’s a serious – and usually super treatable! – condition.

Had a supermorbidly obese mania pt where (imo) a big part of the problem was poor sleep at night. They would sleep sitting straight up against the wall and when they would finally nod off and their head would fall to the side and you’d immediately hear them start choking on their own throat until they jerked partially awake enough to pick their head up. That mania was crazy hard to break because they were too manic to tolerate the CPAP but also too sleep deprived to break out of the mania. 100% medically cleared and ambulatory enough for psych but that snore was just aaaawful to listen to.

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’ve tried to get my wife to record me snoring, giggling and talking in my sleep. I want to hear it so bad.
