a sleep disorder is when your tired thru the day, if your not tired during the day I would say no you don't have a sleep disorder you just don't require that many hours of sleep to function.

Have you ever had surgery for sleep apnea?

Question by joe_blue_collar: Have you ever had surgery for sleep apnea? Have you had surgery to treat sleep apnea? What was your experience like?

Best answer:

Answer by sarge927
I have sleep apnea and the CPAP machine works for me, but my father-in-law had the surgery to remove his uvula and he regrets it. He finds it's a lot easier to choke when eating and it hasn't really helped him. The other surgery is where they break your jaw and realign it, and just the thought of the surgery and the recovery was enough to scare me off...

Q&A: Possible sleep disorder?

by benarent

Question by F-MAN: Possible sleep disorder? I never haven't slept well for the past couple years but lately i think my lack of sleep has been effecting my everyday life. In school it feels like i can barley stay awake and its hard to concentrate. i play baseball for my high school team and alot of times i feel to tired to react, run and do other athletic stuff. Its not like i haven't slept for weeks or anything. But alot of times i will lie in bed for hours then get up to use the bathroom and see that its 2 or 3 o'clock in the mourning and have to wake up at 6:30. Some nights i won't sleep at all. Sometimes i am able to sleep for an hour or two when i get home from school. If their is something important during the day that i have to do i will usually drink a few cups of coffee or throw down a few energy drinks. I have used sleeping pills before but i feel like a have a hangover everytime i use them. do u think i might need prescription sleeping pills? I am a 17 year old male BTW. ya...what is REM sleep?

Low energy and sleep apnea?

Question by eatme: Low energy and sleep apnea? My Doctor and I believe that I may have sleep apnea, which I am scheduled for testing. My appointment isn't until next month and then it takes three weeks to get the results back. In the meantime, I am totally exhausted and find no motivation to get anything done, which is very difficult because I have three children. What are some things I can do to raise my energy levels so that I can make it through the day and accomplish at least the basic needs of my family?

Best answer:

Answer by Rabby
Well..that's hard to do when you don't have any energy...I can tell you that my friend was diagnosed with sleep apnea and after she got her CPAP (machine they give you to correct sleep apnea) she is a different person..she has lots of energy..so just keep thinking 3 more weeks and If I do have it I will have more energy..good luck

Answer by Kaimalie
Your not alone. I wish I can tell you but were in the same boat. I been taking Tylenol PM to help me sleep but not a good thing to depend on a pill every night. I just can't wait to have a health insurance and consult with a doctor about it. Good luck.
