I just got tested a few weeks ago and found out that my case of sleep apnea is so bad that I would consistently stopped breathing more than once a minute! Not only is this dangerous but it basically stops my body from entering critically restorative REM sleep. I was issued a CPAP a little more than a week ago and have been using it every night. It took a little while to get used to the CPAP, but I have much more energy in the morning now that I'm getting the real REM sleep that I need and my wife certainly appreciates that I'm no longer snoring like a chainsaw or scaring her with my breathing troubles.
If it weren't for Ryan Davis bringing this up on the Bombcast, I likely would not have had enough awareness that I might have sleep apnea. Thanks Ryan and Giant Bomb!
