I have obstructive sleep apnea so my sleeps are pretty shitty. My airway muscles relax and eventually close while I'm sleeping, which stops me breathing. My brain has to wake up to force my body to react and start breathing again. I can't remember exact figures but I think the cycle repeated itself every couple of minutes on average. Probably the worst thing about sleep apnea, apart from being tired all the time, is the splitting headache you wake up with every single time.
I had a very painful operation on my throat 10 months ago which actually improved things for a couple of weeks, then it went all downhill again. Now I have a CPAP mask, which makes me look like the elephant man. The headaches have stopped, but I still feel pretty crap.
If you snore, you're tired, or you wake up with headaches - go and see a sleep specialist immediately. :winkwink:
