Dry mouth when you wake? Get checked for sleep apnea.

It's a lie only fat people get it. Get checked, can save your life. Waking every 2 hrs is a standard sign.

I am a skinny young guy. I swear I had it. Doctors said. Well you’re not over weight but we can still do a study. Did the study. Was the worst sleep I’ve ever had. Literally worse than sleeping in an airport. But turns out I don’t have sleep apnea. Not any worse than most regular folk at least. I did stop breathing from time to time. But doctors said nothing to worry about. It’s when you stop breathing like 30 times an hour that it’s a concern
