Q&A: what is the onset of sleep apnea?

Question by Al: what is the onset of sleep apnea? Hi, Does anyone know how Sleep Apnea develops? Can it hit you even if you used to be a good sleeper. Or does it begin the moment you are born? Recently I have developed some terrible insomnia, for the past 2 months I have slept an average of 3-4 hours a night. Sometimes I lay in bed for hours just to wake up groggy and not refreshed. It almost feels like I was day dreaming all night. I have to take a xanax just to fall alseep. Anyways can this be a sign of Sleep Apnea? My ex GF said I used to snore. I’m a very healthy 24 year old male.

Sleep apnea is a condition in where you stop breathing while you are sleeping. Your are sufferfing from insomnia. If you were sleeping at night, and woke up in the morning groggy, then I would suspect sleep apnea.
