Do you snore?
I have the same problem. Tired all the time. Fall right to sleep after reading three paragraphs from a book in bed.
I had a sleep study last night at the hospital. They hooked all kind of wires and belts to me. I slept for a few hours and then they put me on a breathing machine. The machine was weird and you have to wear this mask. I don’t know if I’d like sleeping with a machine.
You should get it looked at. I’ve talked to people who had the surgery to remove their tonsils, adenoids and uvula. They all said it changed their lives.
I’ve had two sleep studies.
How did your’s turn out?
I’ve had sleep apnea for 12yrs, and I can’t get more than 8hrs sleep or I’m stiff and semi-groggy. The CPAP machine is something you have to get used to...but they do have mouthpieces now with “buds” for your nostrils. That operation on throat is only 50% successful...I’ve been to a surgeon about it. Also, the sleep study will determine whether the problem is physical or a quirk in the brain that sends the wrong message to your body. The big thing is oxygen saturation levels in brain should be in mid to upper 90’s(mine was 68 before CPAP,now it’s 96) Good luck with your health! ps People who work the 3rd shift are more prone to sleep apnea,diabetes and weight gain!
