I have severe Sleep Apnea also complicated Apnea which can cause death. The least of the symptoms are morning headaches, blurry vision and being tired all day....really tired. Complicated Apnea is a combination of Obstructive Apnea and Central Apnea where your central nervous system does not alert your brain to tell your body to start breathing again when you stop, causing you to wake up. My testing showed that I wake up 90 times per hour, leaving me exhausted after a nights sleep. Studies show that if you get less then 5 1/2 hrs of sleep per night you will gain an average of 12 lbs per year. If you have these symptoms please see a pulmonary specialist, it will change or maybe save your life

    Sleep is the worst part of my lifestyle for about 1 more week... then 4 years of college will be over. Can't wait to see the difference a regular sleeping habit will have on my life.

    Good luck with your condition, sounds really hard to deal with it, but I'm sure you'll do fine :)
