Question:
My question is: do daytime symptoms of sleep apnea usually involve
feeling ok at awakening, then fatigue developing slowlyh during the
day, depending on how much activity is involved? Also my symptoms
involve fatigue and body pain much more than sleepiness.
Even with no activity, I can feel fatigued by afternoon.
Do anyone's symptoms match mine?
Answer:
My symptoms included afternoon fatigue but more sudden intense
sleepiness with the need for short daytime naps. I actually left work
once or twice for a nap in my car, then went back. Never missed a day
of work, though. At the time, I attributed it to too little sleep at
night (I would sleep for only 4-5 hours, then try to make up on
weekends). On weekends, I would feel worse after a long sleep. The body
pain I attributed to air-conditioning.
