Question by : What are the symptoms of sleep apnea? I am a 13 year old girl, and i think i may have sleep apnea. I can sleep for almost 12 hours a night, but I wake up extremely tired. Could I have sleep apnea? I really want to know if I could have it. Apparently I snore and I sleep talk. What are the symptoms? Could I have sleep apnea?

My dad has it. He snores VERY VERY loud. What happens is your heart will stop beating for like a split second because of the snoring then you'd wake up. So he never could sleep through the night. He went to the doctor and the doctor had him go to a specialist that had you stay the night in a hospital where cameras watches you to see your sleeping habits. He got a breathing machine which is two little plugs that go in your nose when you sleep and deliver air. I don't think you have sleep apnea. 12 hours could be to much sleep for you so try 10 or you could be growing so your body's tired
